objectivity
objectivity means judgement based on observable phenomena and uninfluenced by emotions or personal prejudices. actually reseach is the process of creating knowledge through scientific methods. every man has its own biases and prejudices, so in social science research there is a high chances to personal biases and prejudices. so objectivity is an inevitable aspects of social research.
Social research should be objective so that findings are without bias. Objectivity is when research is neutral, when personal bias has been removed meaning two independent researchers should be able to conduct the same research and get the same outcome. However objectivity is more of an ideal then a reality social researchers are individuals with their own culture, race, religon, gender, beliefs etc. They come to what they are researching for personal reasons therefore how are they expected to remain neutral? Traditional theorists (Weber, Durkheim) relived that social research can be objective. Objectivity was seen as a central methodological principle where the challenge was the practical constraints on objectivity rather then the desirability of the principle itself. Objectivity can be seen as detrimental to social research by contemporary researchers as they believe that emotions and feelings contribute to their understanding of research. Thus objectivity makes social research valid but i believe it is impossible for social researchers to step away from their feelings therefore is more of a ideal. Reflexivity is an alternative and is a way of researchers to acknowledge how they have helped construct meaning.
Impartiality is the word which means objectivity.
Objectivity means neutrality. You are not trying to get a certain result.

Sociology generalizes by identifying patterns in behavior across populations to draw conclusions about society as a whole. Objectivity is essential in sociology to ensure that interpretations of behavior are based on evidence rather than personal biases, leading to more accurate and reliable findings. Without objectivity, sociologists may skew their interpretations, leading to distorted understandings of social behavior.
When seeking the truth of a question, you must use objectivity in your inquiry.
Complete objectivity may be difficult to achieve when studying humans due to the researcher's personal biases, perspectives, and interpretations that can influence the results. However, researchers can strive to minimize bias by using rigorous methods, considering multiple viewpoints, and critically examining their own assumptions. Ultimately, striving for objectivity while recognizing its limitations is crucial in social science research.
