Social Research
|
the study of variables and their relationships
|
|
|
Idiographic vs. Nomothetic
|
Idiographic - single case in great detail
Nomothetic - a group of situations |
|
|
Deduction vs. Induction
|
Deduction - theories are confirmed by general observation
Induction - general observation yields specific theories |
|
|
Paradigms
|
Positivism - reality is grounded in proving/disproving scientific assertions
conflict paradigm symbolic interactionism ethnomethodology - we create reality structural functionalism critical race |
