Foundations of Theory Construction in The Social Sciences

Dejo A. Abdulrahman,

About this book

The book opens with a discussion of the philosophical foundations of theorising in the social sciences, goes on to describe the components of theory and then compares deduction and induction as tools of research and theory construction with particular emphasis on conceptualisation, the identification of properties and dimensions, constructing theoretical statements linking properties and dimensions as well as developing and integrating categories in deduction and induction, respectively. "The writer of the book has made a bold attempt to produce an overview of the needful for the production of quality academic research reports beginning with a discussion on theories and theory building, methodology and data analysis. Attempts are also made to demonstrate the link between theory/theorising on one hand and on the other, methodology, analysis of data and production of quality research reports. The book undeniably fills the gap needed at this point, helping teachers/students of sociology and other social science disciplines in higher institutions of learning to gain mastery of the production of profound social-scientific works. I heartily commend the book to readers across sub-Sahara Africa and beyond." – Professor Olayiwola Erinosho, PhD (Toronto), FNASA, FSSAN
