1: The Six Types of Research

  • Qualitative (Why & How)

  • Quantitative (How much /How many)

  • Behavioral (What people do)

  • Attitudinal (What people say)

  • Generative (forming idea)

  • Evaluative (refining idea)

2: The Three Examples of Common UX Research Methods

a) Usability Testing:

  • How: Participants will perform defined tasks in the system or interface

  • Learning outcome: Testing the intuitiveness of the design, detecting usability issues and opportunities to improve

b) Interview:

  • How: 1:1 interview sessions to understand users’ thinking process

  • Type of research: qualitative, attitudinal & generative

c) Desk Research:
