Description
Arthur L. Stinchcombe's Constructing Social Theories presents a range of strategies for constructing theories in a clear and rigorous manner.
The author argues that theories should be dictated by the nature of the data to be explained, rather than being invented in the abstract or applied a priori to a problem.
This book was awarded the Sorokin prize by the American Sociological Association as an outstanding contribution to the progress of sociology in 1970. With 303 pages and a paperback binding, it provides a comprehensive approach to constructing social theories.
