Exploring Social Science Foundations

Introduction

Social science has been considered, as a branch of science that looks into in-depth study and research into social groups or organizations and understanding the behavioral changes and its environmental changes observed within the community. In other words, it too takes an inventive approach by scholars to have detail overview on a section of society and environment that can widely enumerate social phenomena.

Discussion

Understanding the research methods in Social Sciences

The method of research used in studying and analyzing social science often applied by scholars are evidence-based and using an implementation of statistical pattern of collecting data. According to Meckin, and Balmer (2017), application of scientific engagement of study and synthetic biology brings sense and perceptions with clarity. In other words, it provides a positivist’s approach that associates mainly with the social background of the research field.

The concept of quantitative methods used in Social Sciences

The concept of quantitative method used in analyzing social sciences has revealed on the changing trends and data patterns that has changed with time. As per Burkholder et al. (2020), concept of inventories and systematic study pattern that brings close to multifaceted society and its cultural norms and living pattern and religion. For example, it tries to demonstrate that a large quantity of data can be drawn from data sets that usually generated by scientists.

Conclusion

Considering the concept above, the strategic idea drawn that statistical application of tools allows researchers to find in-depth evidences evolved from positivist’ epistemology, as it conducts hypothesis methods.
