Methods and Techniques of Social Research

Abstract

The purpose of methods and techniques of social research is to offer tools necessary for dealing with social problems through research in a scientific manner. The special emphasis of methods and techniques of social research arises mainly in the coverage of its materials. It contains both methods of collecting observations pertaining to social phenomena and techniques for analyzing them. The greatest advantage of having both methods and techniques within the same covers is that a researcher may easily establish a direct linkage between them and this may help greatly to choose an appropriate technique to analyze data.
