Empirical Sociology

Empirical Sociology is a research approach that focuses on understanding social behavior and structures through observation and data collection. It emphasizes the importance of real-world evidence, rather than just theories or beliefs. In the context of Constructivism and Relativism, it recognizes that people's perceptions of reality are shaped by their experiences and social contexts. Therefore, it seeks to gather diverse viewpoints to paint a fuller picture of social phenomena, acknowledging that knowledge is often influenced by cultural and individual factors. This approach values both objective data and subjective interpretations in understanding society.
