More specifically, social research examines
a society’s attitudes, assumptions, beliefs, trends!
stratifications and rules. The scope of social]
research can be small or large, ranging from the self
or a single individual to spanning an entire race or:
country. Popular topics of social research include
i
poverty, racism, class issues, voting behavior, gender] 
constructs, policing and criminal behavior.
Social research determines the relationship 
between one or more variables. For example, genderj 
and income level are variables. Social scientists! 
will look for underlying concepts and cause-and 
effect relationships of a social issue. Before even: 
beginning research, scientists must formulate a 
research question. For example, a researcher might 
ask if there is a relationship between a person’s 
gender and his or her income level. Do men have 
higher incomes than women? Are women most 
likely to be poor?
A third variable, race, can be added to the 
question. Then the social scientist can pose a 
research question: Does race and gender affect a 
person’s income level? Social scientists will then 
collect data, organize and analyze information and 
create a report of their findings. People conducting

social research must also consider ethics, biases and 
the reliability and validity o f the research they’re 
conducting. They must decide which form of 
sampling to use, how to measure information, how 
to analyze data and present their findings.
Research can be conducted using surveys, 
reports, observation, questionnaires, focus groups, 
historical accounts, personal diaries and census 
statistics. There are two types o f research: qualitative 
research and quantitative research. Qualitative 
research is inductive, meaning the researcher 
creates hypotheses and abstractions from collected 
data. Most data is collected via words or pictures 
and mostly from people. Researchers are interested 
in how people make sense o f their lives and in the 
research process itself.
Quantitative research is the complete opposite 
and most often involves numbers and set data. 
Quantitative data is efficient but focuses only on 
the end result, not the process itself, as qualitative 
research does. Quantitative data is precise and is 
often the result o f surveys or questionnaires.
Even though social research is most 
often conducted by social scientists or 
sociologists, it is an interdisciplinary 
study crossing into subjects like 
criminology, the study o f crime; 
politics, the study o f power; 
economics, the study of 
money and business; 
psychology, study of 
the mind; philosophy, 
study 
o f 
beliefs 
and morals; and 
anthropology, the 
study o f culture.
