Question

interpretive sociologists examine meanings attached to behaviors. they most commonly use ---------- research methods.

○ scientific

○ deductive

○ qualitative

○ quantitative

Explanation:

Interpretive sociologists focus on understanding the subjective meanings of behaviors. Qualitative research methods (like interviews, observations, etc.) are used to explore these meanings, as they deal with non - numerical, descriptive data. Scientific methods are more about empirical testing with strict protocols, deductive is a reasoning approach (not a primary research method for meaning - centered sociology), and quantitative deals with numbers, which isn't suitable for exploring meanings.

C. qualitative
