What Is Social Research?

Social research refers to the research process that uses scientific methods to explain and predict the development of human society. The research aims to understand the objective society, solve various problems in the society, explore the objective laws of social development, and promote the development of society. Social research is divided into basic research and applied research. Basic research is purely scientific research seeking theoretical knowledge. The question it asked was: What is it? how about it? why? Applied research is a "requisition" research, which belongs to the department of applied sciences. The question explored is: what to do? how to do? How to solve real problems. The above two kinds of research are complementary, the basic research is theoretical research, and the applied research is to find the path and method to realize its theory. The results of social research are generally called social theory, and sociological theory is the core component of social theory. [1]
