What are the advantages and disadvantages of each methodology?

There are several methodologies used in research, each with its own set of advantages and disadvantages. Quantitative research, for example, allows for statistical analysis and generalizability of results, but may lack depth and the ability to capture complex human experiences. Qualitative research, on the other hand, provides rich, in-depth data but may be criticized for subjectivity and lack of generalizability. Mixed methods research combines both approaches, offering a comprehensive understanding of a phenomenon but requiring more time and resources. Ultimately, the choice of methodology should align with the research question and objectives to maximize the strengths and mitigate the weaknesses of each approach.
