Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Most social research aims to balance both applied and basic research. This means that while some research may be focused on practical solutions to real-world problems (applied research), other research may be purely theoretical and aimed at advancing our understanding of human behavior and social structures (basic research). A balance between these two types of research is important for both generating practical solutions and advancing theoretical knowledge.
