Quantitative research is gathered data that involves measurements of phenomena using numbers, counts, and the measures of things. Social scientists tend to use quantitative research when observing deductive, nomothetic explanations, experimental designs, and survey research (Monette, Sullivan, & DeJong, 2013). This method’s data can consist of the race, age, sex, diagnosis, IQ, physical impairments, level of self-help skills, and possible other factors. All the participants’ information is considered valuable contributions to determine the relationship between paternal stress and disabled children. Quantitative research comes in many different approaches and can be conducted with four different designs; descriptive, correlational, quasi-experimental, and experimental. First, descriptive design describes a current status of a phenomenon. Second, correlational design observes the relationship between the variables within the research study by utilizing statistical analyses. Third, quasi-experiment design searches to establish a relationship between variables that are not randomly selected. Finally, experimental design (true experiment) where the individuals in the research study are randomly selected, where it is possible that some of the participants have no relation to the research study. The researcher in an experimental design manipulates the independent variable to observe the effect on the dependent variable in order to control the external factors from influences the results (Shuttleworth, M, 2019). Based on this research, I believe that utilizing the quasi-experiment design, a quantitative approach will benefit this research on paternal stress of parents with disabled children. As explained before, quasi-experiment design searches to establish a relationship between variables that are not randomly selected. The researcher of their study does not manipulate the independent variable. The independent variable is usually an innate characteristic; something internal rather than from external sources. Thus, the research proposal will observe what the impact of paternal stress has on a parent of a disabled child. As previously mentioned in the research proposal, “Parental stress, from the parent of a disabled child, exhibit higher levels of stress compared to a parent with a non-disabled child (Cuzzocrea, Murdaca., Filippello, & Larcan, 2016). Depending on the child’s diagnosis, challenges can be redirecting a child from repeatedly hitting their face (self-harm), low cognitive development, nonverbal no matter how many communication lessons, physical impairments that some children cannot walk or in some cases need assistance feeding themselves, and so on. Due to the unique and various physical and mental impairments, parents need to adjust their lifestyle so they can accommodate their disabled child. Accommodating their child is not as simple as most may observe. Parents can experience financial burdens, depression, exhaustion, stereotyped (some religious beliefs view disability as punishment), feelings of social isolation (cultures’ pity and stigma), and concerns about lifelong care or other challenges of the child (Lindo, Kliemann, Combes, & Frank, 2016). When a parent experiences stress, the child can also be affected by it. Affectively addressing parental stress is crucial for the enhancement of a child’s well‐being and functioning within the family and larger society as well as for the…..
