Expert Solution

Step 1

The understanding of human social life and social interactions is aided through the usage of empirical data and/or an interpretative framework. Social scientific research is undertaken through several methods like surveys, naturalistic observation, case studies, secondary analysis, analysis of documents, experimentations, and correlational studies to collect relevant data. The process of social research is largely dependent on the researcher's choice of the research problem; choice of research method; planning of the research design as well as data collection techniques. The goal here is to produce systematic, reliable, and valid information through empirical investigations.
