Social science research aims to understand human behavior and interactions by systematically discovering new facts and verifying old ones. It seeks to explain unexplained social phenomena, clarify uncertainties, and correct misconceptions about human life and institutions. Unlike physical sciences, social sciences do not study exact phenomena but instead focus on predicting human behaviors and their relationships based on natural laws.
