, Unit 1: What is empirical research?
The Practice of Social Research - Earl Babbie Ch. 1 p. 3-13

An assertion must have both logical and empirical support: It must make sense, and it must not
contradict actual observation.

Agreement reality: those things we 'know' as part and parcel of the culture we share with those around
us. You normally accept the reality of things you do not personally experience.

Epistemology is the science of knowing; methodology (a subfield of epistemology) might be called the
science of finding out.

Inquiry is a natural human activity. Ordinary human inquiry can be distinguished between prediction and
understanding. Human inquiry aims at answering both 'what' and 'why' questions, and we pursue these
goals by observing and figuring out. Tradition offers some clear advantages to human inquiry (you do
not overthink), but it may also be detrimental to human inquiry (if you seek fresh understanding, you
may be marked as a fool for your effort).

Replication: repeating an experiment to expose or reduce error. It provides a safeguard against
overgeneralization.

The two pillars of science are logic and observation. A scientific understanding of the world must make
sense and correspond with what we observe. Both elements are essential to science and relate to three
major aspects of the overall scientific enterprise: theory, data collection, and data analysis.

Scientific theory, and science itself, cannot settle debates on value. One of the biggest problems
researchers faces is getting people to agree on criteria of success and failure.

Theory: a systematic explanation for the observations that relate to a particular aspect of life: juvenile
delinquency, for example, or perhaps social stratification or political revolution. It is also referred to as a
coherent set of propositions about how a phenomenon can be explained or predicted > fundamental
science.

The reference group theory says that people judge their lot in life less by objective conditions than by
comparing themselves with others around them (their reference group).
