Descriptive-qualitative statistics are word reports that are given “statistical quantitative values” (sqv).
Chart 1
_______________________________________________________________
Extended Brief
“All” 100% “All” 100%
“Almost All” approx. 95%
“A lot” approx. 75% “A lot” approx. 75%
“More than most” approx. 60%
“Most” 51%+ “Most” 51%+
“Half” 50% “Half” 50%
“Less than most” or “more than a few” approx. 40%
“A few” approx. 25% “A few” approx. 25%
“Almost none” approx. 5%
“None” 0% “None” 0%
_____________________________________________________________
The descriptive-qualitative statistical quantitative values (sqv) are also converted to other statistical research reporting equivalents including:
- Averages
- Fractions
- Decimals
- Percentile Rank (%ile)
- Mean
- Median
- Mode
Descriptive-qualitative Research Statistics (DQRS) Formulas
The descriptive-qualitative research results reporting formulas are as following:
- DQRS Word Report + Observation = DQRS Research Results Report (DQRS WR + O = DQRS RRR)
- Observation + DQRS Word Report = DQRS Research Results Report (O + DQRS WR = DQRS RRR)
- DQRS Word Report + Statistical quantitative value + Observation = DQRS Research Results Report (DQRS WR + sqv + O = DQRS RRR)
- Observation + DQRS Word Report + Statistical quantitative value = DQRS Research Results Report (O + DQRS WR + sqv = DQRS RRR)
- DQRS Word Report + Statistical quantitative value equivalent + Observation = DQRS Research Results Report (DQRS WR + sqve + O = DQRS RRR)
- Observation + DQRS Word Report +Statistical quantitative value equivalent = DQRS Research Results Report (O + DQRS WR + sqve = DQRS RRR)
