Preferred term

methodological pluralism  

Definition

  • Definition An approach that advocates flexibility in the selection of social research methods, based on the principle of choosing the most suitable methods for the nature of the problem being researched. More generally, methodological pluralism calls on the researcher to be tolerant of other people's preferred methods even when they differ from one's own.
