2A strength of using [blank_start]Quantitative[blank_end] data is the data can be easily [blank_start]analysed[blank_end] and compared between groups/participants and so allows the researcher to form [blank_start]valid conclusions[blank_end]. Another strength is that data collection tends to be highly valid and often uses [blank_start]objective[blank_end] measures and so cannot be misinterpreted.
