Sociology as a discipline deals with subjects that are familiar to everyone, such as social groups, institutions, norms, and relationships. However, sociology is a scientific discipline that places great emphasis on method – the procedures used to gather knowledge. Unlike casual observations, sociologists aim to delve into the lived experiences of people.
In this chapter, we will study sociological research methods and will explore the systematic processes that sociologists employ to investigate, understand, and analyze various aspects of social life.
Additional Information
Despite a sociologist’s best efforts to practice self-reflexivity, the risk of unconscious bias remains. To address this concern, sociologists openly acknowledge aspects of their own social background that could potentially introduce bias into their research. This transparency informs readers about the potential for bias and enables them to consider and account for it when reviewing the research study.
POINTS TO PONDER
Sociology is majorly a subjective field of study. While objective study in sociology is an inspiring effort in better understanding the subject. Can you think of various advantages of objective study of sociology?
