Significance of Research Methodologies in Sociology | Complete Lecture by Safeer Sir

In this detailed Sociology lecture, Safeer Sir explains why research methodology forms the scientific foundation of Sociology.
From Durkheim to Weber, every sociologist relied on systematic methods to move beyond common sense and study society with objectivity and logic.

This class is essential for UPSC Sociology Paper I aspirants and covers both theory and applied examples that can directly fetch marks in 10- and 20-mark questions.

📘 What You’ll Learn in This Lecture

🔹 1. Why Research Methodology Matters in Sociology
Understand how methodology gives legitimacy, structure, and scientific validity to sociological knowledge — transforming it from common sense into systematic understanding.

🔹 2. Types of Sociological Research

Micro vs. Macro methods

Quantitative vs. Qualitative research

Primary vs. Secondary data

🔹 3. Research Designs Explained

Exploratory Research → identifying problems, pilot studies

Descriptive Research → studying “what exists”

Explanatory Research → cause–effect relationships

Experimental Research → Hawthorne Studies & the Hawthorne Effect

Comparative Method → Durkheim’s Suicide and cross-societal analysis

🔹 4. Deductive & Inductive Approaches

Deductive → theory → data (Positivist)

Inductive → observation → theory (Interpretivist).

🔹 5. Methodology & Sociological Thought

Positivists favour objectivity; Interpretivists favour understanding (Verstehen).
