Críticas

"A significant breakthrough for theory formation in the social sciences at both the micro- and macro-levels. Using their unique elementary theory of social interaction, Willer, Anderson and their colleagues derive a set of model types that can be applied to a variety of research settings, including experimental, historical, institutional, and ethnographic. The results of their efforts are a theory of considerable scope and a methodology facilitating the advancement of knowledge not through empirical generalizations, but through abstractive connections of empirical research in diverse settings to systematic models."-William Julius Wilson, University of Chicago ?A significant breakthrough for theory formation in the social sciences at both the micro- and macro-levels.
