The Scientific Method in Sociology

The idea
The scientific method in sociology runs a fixed sequence: ask a question, review prior work, form a hypothesis, design a study, collect data, analyze, and report.
In practice
A researcher asking whether commute length affects job satisfaction follows every step before claiming an answer.
Where people slip
The sequence is not optional decoration; skipping the review repeats work already done.
