Abstract

The integration of theory and empirical research in analytical social science has always been a core topic of Analyse & Kritik. This paper focuses on how analytical theory and empirical research have moved closer to each other in sociology, using rational choice theory and game-theoretic models as well as empirical research on problematic social situations as an example. We try to highlight the use of complementary research designs for testing the same hypotheses. We also try to show that empirical research indicates the need for the development of more complex theoretical models
