Descriptive Research

Descriptive research is a method used to gather detailed information about a specific subject or phenomenon. It focuses on describing characteristics, behaviors, or patterns without manipulating any variables. For example, it might involve surveying people's opinions, observing daily habits, or collecting demographic data. The goal is to create a comprehensive picture of the topic at hand, often using statistics to summarize the findings. This type of research is valuable for identifying trends, understanding relationships, and providing a foundation for further studies or decision-making.
