I’m only aware of deductive research approach. I will give brief details about the same here.
If a set of hypotheses are formulated that needs to be confirmed or rejected during the research process then use this approach.

What about abductive research approach?

By Nithin Rao Answered 6 years ago

Morgan has already mentioned about a deductive approach and yes it is absolutely right. An inductive approach does not involve the formulation of hypothesis process. It directly starts with research questions and aims & objectives that need to be determined during the research process.

By Meghana R Answered 6 years ago

You won’t get much information regarding this type of approach. This research approach explains incomplete observations specified at the beginning of the study.
