The research uses and inculcates quantitative qualitative research methods and analysis.
Quantitative research measures and quantifies the causes and effect of variables on other variables for significance. Significant means beyond chance and probability. Chance and probability is alpha level that is normally set at 0.05 level of chance. Hence below this level means beyond chance or probability and hence significant effect. Above this level means that it can be attributed and is above chance and probability and therefore insignificant.
Qualitative is the a description of the value of the interaction of the tested variables. What does it mean? placing content, value and quality in the reasons for what had happened and the experiences of the participants of what is researched.
The research uses and inculcates quantitative qualitative research methods and analysis.
Quantitative research measures and quantifies the causes and effect of variables on other variables for significant effect and influence. Significant means beyond chance and probability. Chance and probability is measured by a standardised alpha level that is normally set at 0.05 level of chance. Hence any number of possible effect below this level means beyond chance or probability and hence significant effect. Anything above this level means that it can be attributed and is above chance and probability and therefore insignificant.

I am shifting a completely theoretical work to the beginning of empirical testing of the theorized applied dialectical method.
I need to validate and demonstrate my theorized applied dialectical method as an actual empirical method that is physically and concretely there.
Here are questions I am exploring empirically
I am using myself as a subject (an embodiment) to test the ideas on
