Qualitative research primarily focuses on exploratory research, aiming to understand the "why" and "how" of human behavior, experiences, and social phenomena. It is inductive, building theories and explanations from the ground up based on observed data, rather than deductive, which starts with a hypothesis derived from existing theory and then tests it through empirical observation.
