Journal Title: Journal of Disability Management and Rehabilitation - Year 2015, Vol 1, Issue 1
Abstract
In order to believe anything around us, we have been asking ‘Is there a scientific evidence for it’. The scientific evidence for natural phenomenon is based on observable and measurable variables. From nineteenth century onwards, the traditional approach to social and behavioral research has been quantitative research. In fact, social research is based on several assumptions and these assumptions are often referred to as positivist and interpretivist (Bryman, 2001).
