Data collection through questionnaires, interviews, etc., is useful for understanding the current situation and identifying problems。
2. Observation
Direct observation of the behaviour of the subject is applicable to the natural occurrence of the phenomenon。
3. Experimental method
Under the control conditions, intervention with the subject to observe its change applies to the search for causation。
4- law on documentation
Access to relevant literature to available research findings and views is applied to historical research, theoretical construction。
5. Empirical research
On the basis of facts and data, the logical conclusions were drawn and applied to social science research。
6 quantitative analysis
Quantitative analysis of data using mathematical models and statistical methods is applied to social and natural scientific research。
7 qualitative analysis
An in-depth analysis of the behaviour, attitudes and views of the subject revealed its inherent patterns and applied to cultural and psychological research。
