Deductive and inductive research

Deductive and inductive research

Please provide visual examples to illustrate your answers.

Explain what deductive research is?  Give an example

Deductive research is a theory that is aimed and approached.



Explain what inductive research is? 
Inductive research means that the approach is concerned with the generation of the new theory, which is merging from the data.  



What are the differences between inductive and deductive research?
The difference between two research topics is that inductive is completely the opposite than deductive.  While deductive research begins with a hypothesis, inductive uses research questions to narrow down the scope of study.  Another difference is that the majority of inductive approaches are associated by qualitative research whereas deductive is quantitative.
