This wide‑ranging and accessible introduction to social science methodology explores the logic and practice of research in the social sciences. It covers core topics such as the nature of scientific explanation, causation, hypothesis formulation and testing, the role of theory, and the challenges inherent in social research. Through clear exposition and real‑world examples, the book helps readers understand how social scientists design research projects, gather and interpret data, and critically evaluate research findings. It also discusses the philosophical assumptions underpinning different methodological approaches and highlights the ways in which social research both reflects and shapes broader social realities.
