Question

The current consensus in the literature is that the social sciences should follow the same methodology as the natural sciences.



True

False

Answer 1

False. The consensus in the literature is that while there may be some methodological overlaps between the social sciences and the natural sciences, the social sciences often require different approaches due to the complexity of human behavior, social structures, and cultural influences. The methodologies in social sciences may include qualitative research, interpretative methods, and case studies, which are not typically used in the natural sciences. Therefore, it's not accurate to say that the social sciences should strictly follow the same methodology as the natural sciences.
