The nomothetic method involves seeking general rules and laws existing in the nature. The research procedures as to the method in question are as follows:
1) experimenting, 2) inspecting 3)correlating.
Whereas the approach-related characteristic methods are:
1)interviews, 2) surveys, 3) observations, 4) experiments 5) tests.
The idiographic approach is based on explaining phenomena in such a way as to identify external events that may shape the said phenomena in a qualitative way.p
