This document defines social sciences and applied social sciences. Social sciences are disciplines that systematically study human society and social phenomena. Applied social sciences integrate insights from various social science disciplines to address complex social issues. While social sciences focus on specific areas, applied social sciences use a multidisciplinary approach. The relationship is that social science research and theories can be applied to problems in society. Examples are given of differences between counseling, social work, and communication as applied social science fields.
