摘要: 本文以社会分层研究为例,指出面向现实是社会学研究科学性的根本保证,研究结论就是对现实的反映,而这种反映的真实程度又是由研究方法所决定的,方法的选择和实施则是由研究范式所指导的。范式、方法和结论最终统一在研究的现实性维度之上。

关键词: 社会学研究方法, 研究范式, 社会分层

Abstract: Taking social stratification research for an example, this paper illustrates the following points: (1) Accounting for the reality is the fundamental premise for sociological research to be scientific; (2) The research conclusion reflects the reality, the validity of which is determined by the research method; and (3) The research paradigm guides the choice and application of the research method. The paradigm, the method, and the conclusion all will be congruent to each other on the basis of the reality.

Key words: sociological research method, research paradigm, social stratification
