Samenvatting	Cross-sectional quantitative content analysis is an observational research design in which a systematically drawn sample of communicative content — news articles, social media posts, advertisements, or other symbolic material — is collected at a single point in time and coded using pre-defined numerical categories to describe or test hypotheses about patterns, frequencies, or associations within that content.	Survey research is a quantitative (and sometimes mixed-methods) design in which a researcher collects standardised self-report data from a sample drawn from a defined population, using a questionnaire or structured interview. It is the dominant non-experimental strategy for describing population characteristics, estimating prevalence, mapping attitude distributions, and testing bivariate or multivariate associations across social, behavioural, and health sciences.
