Statistical Background

PurposeStudents in the marketing discipline have been reported to struggle with quantitative methods. This paper aims to focus on whether it is possible to increase student confidence and reduce anxiety with quantitative data analysis even when limited teaching resources are available. It reports on two half-day initiatives to teach quantitative methods that followed the principles of integration of method into a substantive course (as opposed to stand-alone course) and hands-on approach (as opposed to using a theoretical and hands-off approach).Design/methodology/approachOver the course of three semesters, 92 students that took part of the sessions answered a survey where they reported their basic understanding, confidence, practical abilities and anxiety with quantitative methods.FindingsThe results indicate significant improvements in self-reported basic understanding, confidence, practical abilities and anxiety. Further analysis indicated that neither gender nor previous statistical background had an impact on perceived benefit with the initiative.Practical implicationsIn all, the study indicates that integration and hands-on approaches may be beneficial to reduce anxiety and increase confidence with quantitative data analysis, even when this initiative is limited in time and resources.Originality/valueThe study presents an approach to reducing anxiety and increasing confidence with quantitative data analysis. Teaching initiatives like this may be beneficial in situations when students experience high levels of statistics anxiety.

Quantitative Data Analysis

Purpose This paper aims to investigate place-based loyalty schemes and place marketing. It focuses on the practical issues of implementation and use as perceived by place managers and businesses. Design/methodology/approach The investigation incorporated a three-stage procedure: focus group, quantitative data analysis and semi-structured interviews with place managers and business managers. Findings The study showed wide interest and potential for place based loyalty schemes, acknowledged by all stakeholder groups. The major concerns were practical issues such as complexity, security of data and costs of implementation (equally time/effort and money). The key finding is the need for simplicity to avoid competing desires and priorities. Originality/value Place marketing is claimed to be a priority for town and city managers. There is less agreement however on how to achieve effective place marketing. The authors show how different stakeholders have different views and how these need to be considered to obtain the benefits all agree are possible.

Quantitative Data Analysis

We are pleased to bring you this special issue ofBrain Impairmenton quantitative data analysis, an area of increasing complexity and sophistication. In planning the special issue, our intention was to bring together a set of articles covering diverse and topical areas in the field, with the idea of having the volume serve as a ‘go-to’ resource. The special issue is aimed at researchers, clinicians engaged in research, and advanced students all of whom may have passing familiarity with a particular data analytic technique, but wish to know more about it and how to apply it. Accordingly, our aim is to equip the reader with concrete, hands-on information that can be applied in the day-to-day world of research. The authors of the articles comprising the special issue, each of whom is an expert in his/her field, were charged with the task of writing a practical guide and providing worked examples to illustrate the application of their selected technique/s. The papers in the special issue cover three domains: the single-case method, between-groups design, and psychometric aspects of instrument development.

Reflete criticamente acerca do uso da quantificação em pesquisas em ciências humanas, chamando a atenção para alguns riscos que permeiam tal atividade, como também para determinadas situações em que tais métodos podem ser caracterizados como amplificadores culturais úteis e justificados. Nesse sentido, analisa aspectos inerentes à atividade de quantificação, como a interconexão estreita com a categorização e a modelização fundada em determinada visão teórica. Busca ainda explorar aspectos conceituais centrais à quantificação, como a redução de informação em prol da detecção de tendências gerais e estruturas, as opções de tal redução em função das escalas de medida mobilizadas, a distinção entre a descrição e a inferência, bem como entre o fortuito e o sistemático. Procura demonstrar, em relação a este último aspecto, que a quantificação possibilita apenas uma aproximação probabilística, o que limita seu poder à detecção da verossimilhança, e não da verdade. Palavras-chave: análise de dados; mensuração; quantificação. Abstract This paper is aimed to critically discuss quantification as a methodological initiative in human sciences, focusing on important risks inherent to this activity, but also stressing its utility as a social tool and cultural amplifier in the context of specific situations. In this context, basic aspects concerning quantification are analyzed, particularly those referring to its connections with theoretically guided activities like modeling and categorization. Additionally, some important issues in the activity of quantification itself are described and analyzed: the search for general structures and tendencies in a set of data, measurement scales, distinction between description and inference, and finally, the interest of distinguishing random from systematic sources of variation. In the context of this last distinction, argument is provided concerning the limitation of quantitative methods in detecting verisimilitude, instead of truth.
