Mathematical modelling technique describes data/variables in mathematical language. It is used to describe population growth and to model more abstract things. Mathematical modelling helps draw conclusion out the various kinds of links between variables. However, this technique does not show causality and isn’t very easy technique. It’s better to go for survey method.

I agree with you Pradeep. Survey method is one of the easiest ways to collect data and can be targeted at a specific data you intend to gather. This technique is useful regardless of how specific and complex is the data you wish to analyse.

I would suggest you to for laboratory experiment technique. This is because it is a good way to obtain data and the variables can be controlled.


By Rohini Singh Answered 5 years ago

Priyanshu, although laboratory experiment is a good technique, but for research social science it is hard to use this method. Jane your research will fail if you use this method to determine the culturally specific behaviour Instead go with survey method.
