Abstract

We review social research textbooks by Japanese authors published in the latter half of 1990's and examine methodological features and problems in those. Our main conclusions are as follows: (1) Four types of classifications of research methods are identified. The classification crossing the two types of the four seems most comprehensive and consistent. (2) We need to discuss the matter further to objectify non-statistical methods more. The extension of concepts such as editing, aftercoding, tabulation, reliability and validity may be useful in this case.
