Qualitative research tends to focus upon the results of a study and then use those results to support a theory, versus the deductive methodology of data-driven quantitative research.

Margaret Fuller Introduction Margaret Fuller was born in Boston and pushed hard at a young age by a father who, when she was just four years old, recognized her high level of intelligence and sought to instill in her a thirst for knowledge. Her father, Timothy Fuller, a Unitarian rationalist, treated her "…not as a plaything, but as a living mind," she explained (Gornick, 2012, p. 2). While it is true she later wrote at length about how much she appreciated being induced by her intellectual father to study literature, philosophy and to learn languages even before her teens, she reportedly suffered "lifelong migraines, permanent insomnia and impaired eyesight" as a result of the intensity of the pedagogic pressure from her father (Gornick, p. 2). She also had a constant worry that "her intellectual output was insufficient," Gornick writes in The Nation; this was ironic because she was such an intellectual powerhouse and so given to voicing her august opinions that some of America's greatest literary icons (Nathaniel Hawthorne, for example) could barely stand to be in the same room with her (Cornick, p. 2).
