, Lecture 1
Collecting information in a systematic way.

Two major subgroups, forms:

1. Qualitive research: interpreting stuff
2. Quantify research: measure, counting. Calculate averages.

Deduction
Expectation (hypothesis)
Testing: confirmation, falsification

Induction
Make sense of data. Moving from data to more abstract forms of patterns > grounded theory

What is social reality > ontology
How can we understand social reality > epistemology

- Ontology
Is there such thing as social reality?
o Objectivism
Yes there is such a thing. It has an impact on us but is beyond our grasps.
o Constructionism
Intersubjective. Constructed through interaction. Many people involved> act on that.
Reality is constructed in peoples minds.
- Epistemology
What is knowledge about. What type of knowledge is considered scientific. What is the
proper way of doing research.
o Positivism

 Explaining human behavior by finding its causes
 Studying it to test regularities and find patterns.
 Social physics.
 Transforming human behavior in things you can count or measure.
o Interpretivism
 People are constantly making a interpretation of their surroundings.
Interpreting, interpretations.
 Verstehen
 Hermeneutic phenomenology
 Symbolic interactionism
 Understanding behavior, not about finding causes. About how are people
motivated to do certain things. It is about meaning rather than causes.
