Precise data that lead to appropriate strategic decisions.
Quantitative Sociological
Research PAPI
With clear and well-defined objectives, quantitative research methods yield results based on statistics and mathematical models, analyses that provide precise data, easily processed further.
PAPI (Pen and Paper Interview) quantitative research involves completing a questionnaire, either in an interview setting or through self-completion by the selected audience. A questionnaire formulated with objective questions like “what? how many?”, questions devoid of ambiguities and avoiding vague answers, PAPI research can interview a large sample, providing precise and detailed information from real life. The data thus obtained can be processed accurately, are easy to represent, and can be generalized based on the analyzed sample.
Quantitative sociological
research CATI
Known as Computer-Assisted Telephone Interviewing, this method uses verbal means to apply the established questionnaire. Even though the applied questionnaire is rigorous and standardized, the interview allows for the observation of non-verbal behaviors, the spontaneity of responses, or noting unexpected aspects, advantages that enhance the quality of the research.
It ensures the acquisition of personal responses without the intervention of others, providing specific answers to each question. The possibility of noting the date and place of the conversation allows for the comparability of information or filtering based on subtle criteria according to the study's needs. The obtained data permit a thorough and rigorous analysis, being scrutinized according to quantitative research criteria that later allow for the generalization of the results based on the chosen sample.
Qualitative sociological
research Focus Group
As a qualitative research method, the Focus Group emphasizes study conducted under natural conditions, focusing on the perceptions and experiences of the studied individuals. Attention is given to the process, details, emphasizing credibility and trust, and avoiding generalization.
With a pre-established theme, the focus group is led by a moderator and involves a group conversation among participants related to a specific subject and within a limited timeframe. Various techniques are used to stimulate participants' creativity and, consequently, generate spontaneous and authentic responses. Conducted in a relaxed and pleasant environment optimal for free discussions, participants are guided to express their opinions and perceptions about the research subject, also providing the opportunity to analyze non-verbal language.
Aimed at analyzing attitudes, perceptions, and motivations, the Focus Group is recommended in situations where feedback on a product or service is desired, to understand consumer reactions when interacting with the product/service and its marketing. The obtained results are qualitative data explaining behaviors, perceptions, and opinions, significantly aiding the development process of the respective product or service.
Qualitative sociological
research Interviews
Primarily aimed at understanding the nature of a situation or subject and obtaining qualitative data, the interview is an interactive research method responding to open-ended questions like “how? why?” and focuses on content analysis. Focusing on the freedom of expression of opinion and personality of the interviewee, the method allows for the collection of information such as beliefs and perceptions underlying behaviors, reactions, or consumer decisions. Based on a structured guide, the analysis can be applied individually or as a group interview, depending on the analyzed theme and established objective.
Applied in social sciences, socio-human sciences, or various professional activities, the information obtained through this research method is descriptive, qualitative, and extremely helpful in achieving the set objectives.
Media monitoring
Based on open-source analyses, media and online/offline space monitoring is a method that covers a wide range of research and analysis. The obtained result provides a clear picture of the analyzed factors, positioning, and strategies approached. From website analysis, social media presence, media releases, and consumer opinions, this method collects real information that, correctly interpreted, offers a structured analysis of the targeted market and competitors. Based on this, media, marketing, and sales strategies can be consolidated, also being of real help in setting objectives related to the current market.
Public policies
In response to the issues identified by society, public policies encompass all actions of local or national administrations, as appropriate. Thus, politico-administrative decisions on the distribution and redistribution of resources are applied as an action program aimed at improving the social, cultural, or political environment. These concrete measures are closely monitored, subsequently analyzing the performance, efficiency, and degree of improvement brought by these measures.
From the targeted domain and geographical area, the planned actions, the responsible implementation organization, the required financial resources and their source, the final beneficiaries, and up to quantified objectives and monitoring indicators for implementation and results, all these aspects are targeted and included in the strategy underlying the elaboration of a public policy.
