Het beperkte nut van verklaren en het nut van beperkte verklaringen

Samenvatting

An exploration of conceptual & methodological issues that block rapprochement between qualitative & quantitative researchers. The deductive-nomological model cannot provide a universal standard for valid scientific explanation; causal explanations within this model have limitations, while noncausal explanations are often fruitful. A clarification of misunderstandings & a development of linking concepts as seen as important by both groups -- such as intentions & rules -- may encourage closer relations. 26 References. Modified HA
