Social research is the study of social trends, relationships and ideals that exist between individuals and within societies. Sociologists do social research in order to better understand the social factors that influence people and to analyze how and why humans interact with each other. Social research is different from other types of research in that they rely on quantitative and qualitative research. Quantitative data is using numerical data, while qualitative data does not use numerical data. Qualitative data is a series of interviews, surveys,and observations. Sociologists can use the scientific method not only to collect but to interpret and analyze the data. The scientific method involves developing and testing theories about the social world based on empirical evidence.
