Experiments on understanding the application of different methods of doing sociological research
Differentiating qualitative and quantitative research
Qualitative research
Quantitative research
Overview:
 It involves focusing on smaller units of society
and on the understanding of social situations
and the meanings that individuals attach to
behaviour.
Overview:
 It involves the collection and presentation of
numerical data, which can be codified and subjected to detailed statistical testing.
 It attempts to discover and measure facts about
society and social behaviour
 Information is collected and analysed in order to
test a specific hypothesis.
 It is a more subjective approach, whereby the
researcher aims to understand and interpret the
experiences of the individuals involved by
viewing the world through the eyes of the individuals being studied.
 Methods of research include various forms of
interviews and observation.
 Methods of research include gathering social
data through questionnaires and structured interviews.
 These methods usually involve studying large
numbers of subjects so that the findings can be
used as a basis for presenting general conclusions about social behaviour
Let’s take the example of “The trend of fresh students in college” and
find out how sociologists will conduct research using Qualitative and
Quantitative methods respectively.
To study the trend of fresh students in college using qualitative
methods the researcher will seek information such as their friendliness,
civic minded, environmentalists and having positive school spirit, etc.
The information collected using quantitative methods could be: 672
fresh students, 394 girls and 278 boys, 68% of the students have opted
for honours course, 150 students have accelerated in mathematics, etc
Although there is no hard and fast rule to demarcate the appropriateness of these methods, a
quantitative method is likely to be used by those who favour a ‘macro sociological’ perspective
such as the extent of globalisation. On the other hand a qualitative methodology is likely to be used
by those favouring ‘micro sociological’ perspectives such as the impact of globalisation in Indian
agricultural sector.
Experiment: Taking your area of study as “Most popular break time activity for students”, conduct
a research experiment using qualitative and quantitative research methods respectively following
the guidelines described below:
1. Conduct basic research covering 10-20 children across classes VIII to XII in the school and
gather qualitative and quantitative data for the above topic.
2. For gathering information through quantitative research formulate the questions that you are going to ask the respondents. This will be a structured approach as the questions are predetermined. (Examples: how many children like a particular activity? Which activity is most
popular across all sections, etc)
3. For gathering information using qualitative research prepare a checklist of what information
needs to be gathered (for example, description of different opinions different children have about
the break time activity, is there any difference in attitude between boys and girls on how the
break time should be utilised, etc)
4. Once the questions are formulated and checklist is prepared discuss with your teacher for finalisation.
5. The data gathered should be presented in tabular and graphical forms presenting evidence of
your collection.
6. Do you think the data you have collected will benefit you if you decide to go further with the research? How?
7. Do you see any disadvantages in either method: quantitative or qualitative research you have undertaken? Describe.
8. Which method do you think is more favourable in conducting research on the above given topic?
Classifying methods on the basis of the data gathered
(Gathering primary and secondary data)
There are two forms of data that sociologists work with – primary and secondary.
Primary data are data collected first hand through a range of methods, including interviews,
observations, experiments and survey questionnaires.
Secondary data are already existing data that have been collected by someone other than the
Experiment : Taking your topic as “Choice of breakfast menu: Western recipe vs. Traditional
Indian menu” gather primary and secondary data respectively following the procedures as
described below:
1. For primary data conduct a survey of 10-20 people within schools. (It can be a mix of people belonging to groups such as teachers, students, others, etc).
2. Prepare your survey questionnaire with list of pre-determined questions to be asked from respondents for primary data.
3. For secondary data do research and find out information from media reports, books, internets,
etc.
4. Mention the difficulties faced while gathering data both primary and secondary data respectively.
5. Present your data in tabular and graphical form to interpret your findings.
6. Which category would you like to put your primary data into, qualitative or quantitative? Why?
(Note: The data gathered and presented by you will be displayed in the class board)
Macro and micro approaches to researching social phenomena
Macro and micro approach to
study social phenomena is another
way of classifying research
methods in sociology.
The macro methods will focus on
researching social phenomena by
focussing their attention on
society at large or taking a large
section of it such as struggle
among working class population,
relation between caste and
politics, etc.
The micro approach on the other
hand will take a more intimate
view of social phenomena or life. It deals with issues of social life at individuals or small group
levels such as delinquent behaviour, dowry laws, etc.
Let’s take the example of ‘Culture’ and find out how research will be conducted using macro and
micro approaches respectively.
A sociologist adopting a macro approach to study culture may take topics such as “Position of
women in Indian culture”. They may look at it from larger aspects of the society such as patriarchal
values and how it impacts women’s role, differentiating gender roles on the basis of division of
labour as defined within the cultural dimensions of the society, etc. Such method helps us in
understanding larger social phenomena and major social problems like poverty and unemployment,
etc.
A sociologist adopting a micro approach to study culture may take topics such as “Socialisation of a
child by working parents”. They may look at it from a more intimate level by taking case studies of
few children or select an urban set up where there are more working parents. They may focus on the
social situation and the realistic construction of parent’s behaviour or child’s behaviour. They may
compare it with another set of children brought up in a joint family, etc. Such method helps us in
establishing connection between a problem child and the process of socialisation, socialisation in
different cultural situations, etc.
Experiment : Read the below case carefully and identify the research questions for conducting
macro and micro research accordingly:
An eighteen-year old teenager living with his mother and stepfather in Singapore admitted
that he vandalized cars. He was sentenced to spend four months in prison, pay a $2,230 fine,
and to six strokes with a rattan cane. His appeal was denied. Many people in the United
States supported the caning.
1. As a sociologist who focuses on the macro-level, how would you explain this situation?
2. As a sociologist who focuses on the micro-level, how would you explain this situation?
Now taking your topic as “Apparel choice of Teenagers: A high influence of peer pressure”,
describe how you will conduct the research from the macro and micro perspectives respectively.
