Methodology of Sociology

The methodology of sociology refers to the systematic approaches that sociologists use to study social behavior, institutions, and interactions. It includes both qualitative methods, like interviews and observations, which provide in-depth insights into people's experiences, and quantitative methods, such as surveys and statistical analysis, which allow researchers to identify patterns and trends in larger populations. This combination helps sociologists understand complex societal issues, draw conclusions, and propose solutions by analyzing data in a rigorous and objective manner. Ultimately, the goal is to gain a deeper understanding of how society works and to inform social policies.
