Multidisciplinary and interdisciplinary nature of statistical research into social phenomena
Abstract
The modern progress in civilization and socio-economic life has resulted in science being addressed
with ever more complex tasks and problems, which extends the competence of one single
discipline as well as the potential scientific scope of one researcher's work. Hence complex teamwork
research is more and more often initiated, with several fields of science participating. A new
type of multidisciplinary and interdisciplinary studies is being born.
The paper focuses on this set of issues and argues the case on the example of social phenomena,
both in terms of elementary philosophy of science and the methodology of statistical research.
Even though multidisciplinary studies has been conducted for quite a long time, the literature on
the methodology of science lacks more comprehensive sober statements on research experiences
and methodological reflection, as well as presentation of model conceptions and research procedures.
This allows to state that the issue in question still remains at the searching stage, and in
regard to some disciplines (social sciences included) at the stage of experimental studies. Hence,
drawn on research experience, a conceptual framework of multidisciplinary and interdisciplinary
research procedures is outlined. The author considers in turn: properties of the object explored (in
social phenomena), their peculiarities and variations, and discusses the potential obstacles that
may impede the work; the conditions and rules of cooperation among particular disciplines during
teamwork research; and finally proposes some constructions of models for research proceeding
(quasi-multidisciplinary, multidisciplinary and interdisciplinary) and defines their preferences in
the exploration of social phenomena. The models presented are propositions to be further verified
during the research conducted by the Poznań scientific milieu.
