Methodology of Social Research

note but if at any moment there is deficiency of objectivity in this then scientific results cannot be
obtained, for successful use of scientific method objectivity is very much necessary.
3. To get Adequate Representative Data: to get Adequate representative Data for a social
incident we select the units by using sampling method. this selection must be un-biased
and fully objective otherwise the units representing the universe cannot be selected. Along
with this such facts must be compiled that represents all the characteristics of the universe
fully. Any one of various techniques such as questionnaires, interviews, analysis, etc. must
be used for gathering the representative data. for this it is necessary that the techniques
used for sample collection must be objective rather than based on comfort level else it will
not gather representative data.
4. For getting Data Verified: Re-examination or verification is a test of the study and any study
passes this test only when objectivity is applied at all levels. in a study objectivity only means
that the study is based on true facts rather than the biased beliefs, emotions and predictions
of the researcher. in any study where there is an element of these, then that study is no more
scientific or practical. Re-examination and verification cannot be done of such facts. Therefore,
objectivity is necessary for obtaining verified data and scientific results.
5. To get Unprejudiced Conclusions: the biggest accomplishment of social research is that
the result must be unprejudiced. If the results obtained from such research is not certified,
if their data cannot be verified, if rules and principles cannot be made based on this then
there is no use of such research. it is necessary to have objectivity in any research. if one can't
render the rules and principles according to this base then there is no need for this research.
According to any research and study it is necessary to continue for getting registered a getting
fair climax from starting to end. the research will be a waste in its absence. so researchers
can access a fair climax to follow objective viewpoint and this climax stands any subject on
a scientific standard.
6. To Enrich Real Knowledge : to remove the darkness of stupidity is the main aim of science
and this work can complete at that time when one gets more knowledge related to social
happening to follow the objective view point. When this types of knowledge increases then
finally our knowledge of day-to-day. social life increases from this people will be relieved
from confounded believes and prejudices. to gain actual knowledge, researches will have
to keep control over their own ideas and preconceived notions. so they will have to follow
the objective view point for this.
7. To Explore New Field of Investigation : When any researcher explores in the field of
scientific study then he has to follow the objective view point for understanding the right
reference of social happenings for finding the facts. When any researcher does a fair study
about any happening and problems then he comes across the related unknown facts and
has information. Any new favour come on light. researchers does not think before for this.
He comes to know about new option related to social happenings and problems, this helps
him in the process of exploring avenues in new fields.

Notes researchers can make new planning by this new option in future. it is possible at
that time when the study is completely objective or scientific.

8. To Maintain Control over the Investigator: researchers do study about society, group, social
happening or any problem generally related to any type. in this condition he is influenced
by his own ideas, feelings and predictions. in this condition to remove that it is necessary
that the study is totally scientific. This scientificness inspires for study according to objective
view point. According to objectivity he can find truth and can find a scientific climax.
