Social Research: Principles, Levels, and Applications

This book aims to improve and develop the research skills of postgraduate students. It also attempts to address the shortcomings in the aspect of scientific research by practically employing theoretical principles in their research and studies, training them in the use of theoretical concepts and focusing on how to transform the theoretical aspect of the concepts, principles, and rules of social research into applicable practical aspects and scopes so that it can be measured, defined, and formulated accurately. This book also attempts to provide a satisfactory answer to questions related to social research in the methodological and applied aspect rather than the statistical-mathematical one, the most important of which are: What is social research? How do we implement and conduct it? When do we perform social research? What are its shortcomings?

The research process is a series of interconnected stages or levels that range from its theoretical aspect to its experimental side, if implemented precisely and soundly, it will achieve the objective of conducting the research. The mission of this book is to address these stages and levels in detail that will benefit the scholars of this science.
