Primary data collection methods

5 years ago in Data Analysis By Virat


I want to collect the primary data for my research. Could someone suggest me some effective data collection approaches?

You can collect primary data either through observation or by conducting the interview. 
In observational method the data can be collected in the laboratory or in the natural environment. 
The advantage of using method is that the subjective bias is eliminated.
In interview method the data collection involves verbal stimuli presentation and replies in return. 
The advantage of using this method is more information can be collected in depth.

I would suggest you to go with questionnaire method. Here you can collect large samples,  eliminate interviewer bias and the respondent will have enough time to answer the questions.

Case studies, interviews, and observation methods can be used to collect the primary data.
