Quantitative Data Analysis
(Cohen & Crabtree, 2006)
Quantitative data is tabulated so according to the results for different variables in the data set. This provides a comprehensive picture of the data and assists in the process of identifying patterns.
A common way of displaying the data to facilitate the analysis is by using a frequency distribution, which is an organized tabulation of the number of the responses or scores according to each variable category. Tabulation provides a structured way to determine data accuracy, identify data outliers, gauge the spread of the scores or responses, and observe categorical frequency
Quantitative data analysis using interval data that are continuous, that has a logical order with standardized differences between values, but that does not have a natural zero. Items on a Likert scale are a good example of interval data.
Data are frequently displayed in a manner that condenses the data from the constructed frequency and percent distributions.

Qualitative Content Analysis
When content analysis is treated as a quantitative method of analysis, it provides a way to systematically and objectively analyzes media content (Rubin & Rubin, 2004). This version of content analysis used standardized...
When a qualitative approach is taken to content analytical, the focus is on analyzing both the explicit or manifest content of a text as well as interpreting the latent meaning of texts that which can be interpolated from the text, but that is not explicitly stated in it (Graneheim & Lundman, 2004). The emphasis of content analysis is data coding, which may explain a major limitation of this approach -- its inability to provide a rich understanding of the meanings of texts
In healthcare research, texts appropriate for content analysis include grant proposals, published manuscripts, minutes from meetings, transcripts of conversations, medical encounters, interviews, and focus groups (Cohen & Crabtree, 2006). Appropriate texts for analysis in healthcare fields also include messages communicated to the masses via newspapers, magazines, radio, television and the internet (Cohen & Crabtree, 2006).
Data can be presented in tables and matrices. This is useful particularly when quotations are used to articulate the findings by interweaving. What this means is that refinement of the analysis may well occur even as the manuscript is still being written in final form.

Leadership Effectiveness Inventory Data Reliability Analysis After collecting data from the Nordic questionnaires, a reliability test was carried out to ascertain whether the nine scales used could predict overall satisfaction with the manager as a leader. The analysis found the scales reliable and moreover, it was apparent that reducing the questions in the questionnaires could not compromise data reliability. In addition, communication, planning/execution and teamwork were proved to be the best predictors
