induction
induction, inductive The inverse of
deduction. Induction begins from particular observations from which empirical generalizations are made. These generalizations then form the basis for
theory-building. So-called
analytic induction is common in qualitative studies within sociology. This method requires that every case examined in a piece of research substantiates a
hypothesis. The researcher formulates a general hypothesis from observation of initial cases; investigates subsequent cases in the search for a negative instance; and reformulates the hypothesis to cope with those confounding cases that are encountered. The process is deemed to be exhausted when no new discrepant cases can be found—a necessarily rather subjective judgement—and the (now revised) generalization is allowed to stand. See also
CAUSE.
