What is meant by social science research methords?
Natural sciences are governed by natural laws e.g. gravity which are constant – unless manipulated. Social sciences study human beings which is more complex because, unlike the law of gravity, human beings are not constant we are all unique and we react to things differently – sure there are trends but there is even difference in our trends. Social sciences are still sciences, however, more factors need to be included when research is being gathered. For example, the social sciences are dependent of a balance of both qualitative and quantitative data when performing research, however, the natural sciences can get away with solely performing quantitative research.
