摘　要：

 实证性量化研究具有数量化、客观化、普适化等特点，但它也有一个致命的缺点，就是无法确定变量之间的因果关系。反之，诠释性质化研究可以为社会科学研究提供一个良好的因果解释，但却具有主观化、非量化、个案化的特点，其研究结果的客观性、确定性相对较弱。韦伯倡导的理解社会学试图将实证性量化研究和诠释性质化研究的优点结合起来，为社会学研究提供了一个相对可靠的因果分析模式，这为我们今天理解实证性量化研究和诠释性质化研究提供了一种值得参考的思路。

 

Integrating Positivism Quantitative Approach and Hermeneutical Qualitative Approach: Weber’s Instruction

Xie Lizhong (Peking University)

Abstract  The positivism quantitative approach has the characteristics of being quantitative, objective and universal, but it also has a fatal shortcoming, i.e., it is impossible to determine the causal relationship between variables. On the contrary, the hermeneutics qualitative approach can provide a good causal explanation for social science research, but the objectivity of its research results is relatively weak due to the characteristics of being subjective, non-quantitative, and case-specific. Weber’s sociological attempts to combine the advantages of positivism quantitative approach and the hermeneutics qualitative approach, provide a relatively reliable causal analysis model for social studies. This provides a valuable reference for us to understand the relationship between positivism quantitative approach and hermeneutics qualitative approach today.

Key words      positivism quantitative approach; hermeneutical qualitative approach; Max Weber; verstehende Soziologie
