Imagine that you are a researcher interested in identifying the components of 'giftedness' in pre-teen children. What quantitative methods might you use to help you better understand the experience of giftedness?

 

The Quantitative methods that can be use help you better understand the experience of giftedness are:

Correlational research and Causal-comparative/quasiexperimental research

Step-by-step explanation

You can apply correlational research here to test the relationship between the IQ level of the parents and the pre-teen children. Whether it has a direct relationship or, in other words, if parents have a high IQ, then the children also have a high IQ.

You can also apply Causal-comparative/quasi-experimental research here; for example, you can test if studying in a prestigious institution can affect or bring out the 'giftedness' in pre-teen children. You can also take into consideration the number of hours spent studying as some are naturally "gifted" and others improve through studying/reading more materials.
