It is  our comprehension, our consciousness which guides us to do things.Also it’s the same thing that epistemology make us to choose the particular methodology and methods to conduct the very research. But it doesn't determine them. Interpretivism and positivism are two aspects of epistemology, one is about subjective knowledge and the other is subjective.

# data[].attributes.body
Epistemology does determine the method of choosing a theory, and our perception of things determines how to choose a methodology, in other words, the choice of methodology is based on our own subjective knowledge and experience.

# data[].attributes.body
Epistemology will influence researchers to make decisions on what kinds of methods and methodology will use but cannot fully decided, other factors should as be considered.

# data[].attributes.body
Yes. Epistemology determines the approach to the study of a problem and determines whether subjective or objective thought is used.

# data[].attributes.body
Ontology refers more to the basic of things (there are subjective and objective ontologies). Epistemology refers to what we know about the world (there is positivism and interpretivism). Positivism looks at the world objectively and focuses more on logic and data-quantitative research. Interpretivism is more concerned with the subjective interpretation of a matter and believes that the way the world is understood is influenced by experience - qualitative research.

# data[].attributes.body
I believe that epistemology determines the choice of methodology and approach, and that epistemology influences people's choice of methodology as a subjective consciousness.

# data[].attributes.body
In my opinion,  epistemology affects the choice of methodology and methods but will not determine it. The main reason is that there are still some other factors that will affect the choice  of methodology and methods, such as  ontology.

# data[].attributes.body
Yes, that is the reason we should ensure our research methods correspond to our chosen epistemology.

# data[].attributes.body
Yes，Epistemology provides a theoretical basis, which determines what knowledge is possible. Methodology and the choice of methodology are based on Epistemology because methodology is established by the knowledge that people already know.

# data[].attributes.body
Yes,it does. Epistemology is probably at the stage where we distinguish the types of knowledge, and thus progress to the stage where we try to obtain knowledge, and that is when we decide on the methodology and the method of study. From the whole process, epistemology is the key to methodology and method.

# data[].attributes.body
It does determine the choice of methodology and methods.

# data[].attributes.body
Epistemology does determine the choice of methodology and methods. It is relating to researchers cognition of reality, which implies the issues appealing to researchers, which will then determine researchers choice.

# data[].attributes.body
From my perspective, epistemology will affect the choice of research methods to a certain extent. Because epistemology determines a person's cognition of existence. Therefore, the choice of research methods is also influential.

# data[].attributes.body
Ontology is studying the structure of the nature of reality or the nature of exists and, epistemology is studying the potentiality of the knowledge of human being.

Does epistemology determine the choice of methodology and methods?

Does epistemology determine the choice of methodology and methods?

# data[].attributes.body
Epistemology guides methodological choices and is axiological. Methodology shapes and is shaped by research objectives, questions, and study design. Methodologies can prescribe choices of method, resonate with particular academic disciplines, and encourage or discourage the use and/or development of theory.

# data[].attributes.body
Yes, I think it does, epistemology represents authors' standpoints. Interpretationism may prefers subjective methodology, while positivism are more likely to choose objective methodology.

# data[].attributes.body
Both ontology and epistemology belong to the philosophy of the social sciences. Positivism is a type of epistemology, and interpretivism also belongs to epistemology. Epistemology focuses on book knowledge, while ontology studies truth itself.

# data[].attributes.body
Both ontology and epistemology are products of activities of individual thinking. They are both research methods belonging to social science.

# data[].attributes.body
Ontology refers to what things exist in the social world, the structure of their existence and what it means in the social world.Epistemological assumptions focus on the nature of the world and how we know what we know.Thus it can be seen that epistemology is based on ontology, and ontology is further developed through epistemology, and the relationship between the two is complementary and synergistic.

# data[].attributes.body
Ontology is the study of the original object of the world and the study of what the things are.
Epistemology is to explore the development process of the relationship between the essential structure of human cognition and objective reality, as well as the rule of truth standard.

# data[].attributes.body
Ontology is about the existance of reality, which we can feel directly. Also ontology refers to the formation, existance, situation and destrunctin, etc. All is about the reality.
Epistemology appears in our brain, which include natural knowledge and learning about society. Epistemology is not about the matter, is about the thought.

# data[].attributes.body
Ontology focuses on the essence of reality, while epistemology focuses on the essence of knowledge. I think the relationship between the two is complementary and both are research methods.

# data[].attributes.body
I think it is very interesting because ontology and epistemology is a kind of philosophy.

ontology is the root of epistemology. In detail, ontology is a way how we think the world, while  epistemology is how we explore should expolre the world.

What's more,  ontology involves objectivisim and subjectivism, and epistemology includes objective knowledge (positivism) and subjective knowledge (interpretivism).

# data[].attributes.body
Epistemology + Ontology = Research Paradigm
Simply put, ontology is our way of understanding reality. Of course, it includes objectivism or subjectivism. Only by understanding this prior condition can we proceed with epistemology.

# data[].attributes.body
The ontology  explore  things what  is reality and existence。And the epistemology is a social science research that verity knowledge based on ontology. I think ontology evidence is based on epistemology so it is basically subjective data.

What is the link between ontology and epistemology?

# data[].attributes.body
Both Ontology and Epistemology are philosophy of social science.Epistemology can be devided in positivism and interpretivism, ontology can be devided in objectivism and subjectivism. the relation is objectivism relate to positivism and subjectivism relate to interpretivism.

# data[].attributes.body
The ontology helps us know the reality whether its objectivism or subjectivism. Then we go on to the epistemology to know how we can gain knowledge, it turns out to be positivism or interpretism through the methods.

# data[].attributes.body
Epistemology focuses on knowledge, while ontology studies the truth per se. Epistemology takes ontology as the foundation to study knowledge, by combining ontology with epistemology to built a paradigm which stands for the philosophy perspective underlying a scientific research and the methods applied.

# data[].attributes.body
Both ontology and epistemology are the fundamental of social science, ontology can be devided in objectivism and subjectivism, epistemology can be devided in positivism and interpretivism. the relation is objectivism relate to positivism and subjectivism relate to interpretivism.

# data[].attributes.body
First, both Ontology and Epistemology are philosophy of social science. Secondly, Positivism is a type of Epistemology, but it is based on objective Ontology. Also, Interpretivism is a type of Epistemology, but it is based on subjective Ontology.

The mixed method allows for a more comprehensive study. It provides data and resources that can help the researcher to better understand the data. The mixed methods approach allows for more accurate research findings.

# data[].attributes.body
The advantages of quantitative analysis and qualitative analysis can be used. And for researchers, they can no longer be limited to a single method, and can answer broader and more complex research questions.

# data[].attributes.body
Mixed method combines quantitative method with qualitative method, which makes up for the lackness of two different methods with both analisis and data. That makes the author easier to illustrate or define in a more reliable way.

# data[].attributes.body
Mixed research method can conduct research analysis in a more comprehensive way, allowing researchers to pay more attention to a wider range of research contents, to obtain more research detail and results.

# data[].attributes.body
Mixed method can avoid the disadvantages of both quantitative method and qualitative method such us wrong number focus on and useless interview to give the researcher more effective way to accomplish their target.

# data[].attributes.body
Consisting of qualitative and quantitative methods together, mixed method  have different but complementary functions. It provides a wider perspective in depth and in breadth, which is better for us to get a reliable conclusion for our research.

# data[].attributes.body
The mixed method can study the problem more comprehensively. It can not only use the quantitative method to understand the statistical data, but also use the qualitative method to understand the whole problem from a macro perspective.

# data[].attributes.body
Mixed methods research facilitates researchers to conduct complex studies which require knowledge of both qualitative and quantitative data. This research method allows for more reliable and comprehensive findings.

# data[].attributes.body
The mixed research method will study the issues raised in the article from multiple perspectives. Compared with the single research method, it reduces the limitations and makes the readers more convinced and find more evidence.

# data[].attributes.body
Researchers can first use the quantitative method to get an overview and then choose the qualitative method to focus on a particular aspect. They will receive both reliable and depth data.

# data[].attributes.body
Mixed research adopts more diverse research methods, which can help us to explore from more perspectives during research.

What is mixed methods research good for?

# data[].attributes.body
combining quantitative and qualitative approaches can balance out the limitations of each method.
it can provide stronger evidence and more confidence in your findings.

# data[].attributes.body
Mixed method provides a better understanding of research problems and complex phenomena than either approach alone. It may add value and contribute to advance our research topics. Although the mixed method requires more time and budget but it also provides an opportunity to researcher develop a broader set of skills.

# data[].attributes.body
Researchers can use numbers to add precision to words, pictures and narratives, mixed methods is more all-round than both qualitative and quantitative methods .

# data[].attributes.body
Mixed methods research is good for scholars on conducting a sophisticated research which requires the knowledge of both qualitative data and quantitative data. The mixed methods in a research could be complimentary counterparts of each other, at the same time, providing with both macro and micro scopes or vantage points for a better understanding or/and more reliable outcomes of the very study.

# data[].attributes.body
Mixed methods is a useful method
because it involved two kinds of data and resources. It not only reduces the time and resources of researchers but also enhances the integrity of data. And more important things is the conclusion based on the experience of subjects, which this can help researchers better understand the data.

# data[].attributes.body
Mixed method can make the research more comprehensive. We can not only see the objective development of the research object from the macro perspective, but also find specific solutions from the micro perspective.

# data[].attributes.body
I think it is good for the accuracy of  research outcome and interpret in diferent aspects' opinion to the outcome.

# data[].attributes.body
We need to choose the particular method corresponding with problems to be solved, which reflects our comprehension for the property and nature of the problem.

This may get us closer to the truth we seek for.

# data[].attributes.body
They help us to undersatnd in which way we choose to conduct our research better.

# data[].attributes.body
Studying research methods can help us  to find the solution how to solve the problems.  Through collection data and analysis data to research the phenomenon of the society and natural.

# data[].attributes.body
because we need to show our opinions in a acdemic way with data or analysising, which make our article more reliable and logical.

# data[].attributes.body
Because studying the research method enables us to use qualitative methods and quantitative methods in our research. It will make our article more persuasive and reliable.

# data[].attributes.body
It shows the whole process of how to get the results of the survey. And it provides a choice of methods to face macro and micro problems. In addition, through methods we can quickly tell which articles are acceptable and which are not.

# data[].attributes.body
It is through learning research methods that we can know how to collect data and analyse it. This way we can understand the problem in a comprehensive way and get an accurate result.

# data[].attributes.body
Different research methods have different purposes and different levels of validity.  Research methods help us  determine how accurate the results of a research method are.

# data[].attributes.body
Research methods can provide us with tools to help us solve problems that arise in research. Simultaneously, the research method is a guiding suggestion to help us think, analyse, and make judgments.

# data[].attributes.body
The study of research methods can help us better use research methods to achieve our research goals.

# data[].attributes.body
Research method is a comprehensive strategies, processes or techniques which contained quantitative method, qualitative method and mixed method in order to have you do a detailed research and could be approved by above methods. Once you started research, it is also a great opportunity to improve yourself with different kind of skills.

# data[].attributes.body
Learning research methods can let us master the ability to collect data and analyze it, in addition, it can also make it easier for us to understand the articles written by others.

# data[].attributes.body
The importance of learning research methods is that when we learn a new knowledge point or do a new experiment, it can be clearly sorted and classified, so that we can understand the problems more quickly.

# data[].attributes.body
Learning research methods can help the researcher determine which specific techniques or procedures are suitable for his research and provide methods for collecting information and data for his research, which is very important for solving research problems.

Defining crime can help people understand what constitutes a crime and what is done is a crime. It will also help the government to better manage the city and reduce the crime rate. Researchers can classify different cases according to the definition of crime, thereby saving more time in processing things. In addition, after defining crimes, researchers can also study why people engage in criminal activities based on different crimes and reveal the meaning behind these behaviors.

# data[].attributes.body
It is important to distinguish human behaviours are legal or illegal in order to set up the punishment to crimes. The definition of crime could also be thought as a guideline to people daily behaviours. For researchers, clearly definition can help them with measuring crime rates in variety of sources which should be based on to find out the trend of crime and further efforts to reduce the crime.

# data[].attributes.body
Crime is a serious topic,it brings a terrible result.It should be defined in a proper way.Because it will give us a guideline to what we should do or not do ,and also protect us from being dangerous.
It will have an influence to researchers when thinking of what kind of ways they use for research.And they may get a different conclusion.

# data[].attributes.body
Because defying crime correctly enables society to process stability. If the law is too strict, then people will unsatisfied and protest, such as strike. However, if the law is too light, the criminal may escape punishment and it may lead the society unstable, so it is important to define crime clearly.

I think it depends on their educational background and experiences. Because the law in various countries is different, also everyone has different life experiences.

Vivi：fining a crime is important for several reasons: 1. The question of crime teaches people what they should not do. Crime involves whether many people should be punished. 3. Crime is something that is not allowed to be done by law, which is related to the legal construction of a country or region.Implications for researchers: 1. Identifying the differences in criminal behavior makes it easier to define a crime. The prevention or correction of crime through the study of criminology.

As we know we define crime as the activities and actions which are illegal. It's more likely that laws draw us a accurate and obvious warning line between dos and not dos, which can also, assist the public to distinguish the criminal and innocent people.
As for resaechers, they should not only obey the laws, but also it's much more necessary for them to stay retional to distinguish the laws from common moral, in the meanwhile, they should measure the publishment of different illegal activities and actions.For instance, if the pulishment of the illagal activities costs too little or too much, it won't help to protect the safety of vitims.

The way we define crime deciding what are the bottom lines of legal behaviors. Defining crime can also be helpful to build a set of standards of punishment, and this really deters people from against the law which contributes to a better society.

Researchers should know the crime system inside out, so if crime can’t be defined clearly,  the work of researchers could be too tough to continue.

There are many things in life that make people feel unfair.
One is illegal.
The other type does not violate the law, but feels very immoral.
If the two are confused, people's ability to distinguish right from wrong will be very low. This will make the actual crime cost very low.

# data[].attributes.body
There are moral standards and legal standards for judging the unreasonable conduct.
Deviance can only be morally reprehensible,not legally. Crimes are punishable by all means, both morally and legally.
Definition of crime relates to the standards of a particular society at a particular time. Standards change but standards are absolutely enforced. There is no absolute crime or relative crime.

Clarifying the line of crime defination is very important to maintain social order. Researchers also need to know whether a behavior requires social superviser or legal regulation.

# data[].attributes.body
Because crime is an essential standard of justice, it has a significant meaning. The discrimination of crime can reduce the occurrence of crime and restrain people's behaviour. The definition of crime is related to the justice of the entire society and the equality of society.
Researchers tend to be more academic, and the reference relate to legal requirements, but the definition of crime is not a single aspect. Many judicial examples have connections to, and public opinion also needs to be considered.

# data[].attributes.body
It is huge relationship between crime and law. There are two questions: How to stipulate the punishment of criminals, How to define what kind of behavior is illegal. The definition of a criminal is so important because people need law  to measure the actions of others. At the same time, this line can be a reminder to constrain people's behavior and  punish those who cross the line. It is tough to researchers, because the laws of each country are different. I think this is closely related to the values of the whole society. So laws change over time, because people's views change.

# data[].attributes.body
How we define crime is an important issue, it represents the society in which we live. Normally researchers and lawmakers enact the law through society norms and regular rules which are not always suitable for all different periods or cultures. For example, In Medieval Europe, judges decide someone as a criminal or not by God's will, and religious rites, which seems ridiculous today. So studying to define crime can develop the rationality of law-making.

# data[].attributes.body
Crime is an important matter in constructing the society where individuals are asked or educated to behave in proper ways in accordance to the social norms and rules. A definition of crime serves as a vital role in determining the line between the deviance of social conventions and excessive violation of laws and rules, which helps for judging and taking punishments to prevent crime.

For scholars, prior to adopting measures, the clear awareness of crime is required underlying a criminal behavior. Different definitions of crime leads to different understanding and judgements of criminal behavior. Thus researchers must fully understand the differences before conducting a research.

# data[].attributes.body
Defining whether a crime is an important criterion. This is about the safety and interests of each of us. There must be a clear boundary between crime and non-crime, so as to ensure that people do not commit crimes as much as possible.Researchers must find ways to clarify the boundary between crime and non-criminal.

# data[].attributes.body
Because the definition of crime is very broad, crimes are punished according to the law, and if the legal provisions are not clear, then there is a risk of evading the crime.
The researcher has to study the legal provisions of different countries and the legal norms in different situations. Because some countries treat the same act differently in terms of legal provisions.

The international poverty line is set by the world bank, it is a particular value for all countries including both developing countries and developed countries at a particular time. The prices for basic needs are no the same for different place as time passed. So it can not just be a simply number to contain the whole information about the poverty.

# data[].attributes.body
I think you can't definite poverty just by income level so roughly, because it is a complicated problem. Due to the development of different countries, like developed country and developing country, income of the residents are different. For example, the the one get  lower income in developed country may be even higher than disadvantaged country, howerver he maybe have the worse living conditions in his country. Also, I think poverty is not only related to income level, but also education, medical level, quality and even happiness of residents.

# data[].attributes.body
People with a lot of money may not be able to survive in a resource-lacking environment of living.We also need to have a look at the productivity in his living place rather than to see the income level solely.

# data[].attributes.body
I don't think it is right to link income with poverty.In many areas there are both high income and low income people, but the number of high income people is far less than the number of low income people, then the people in the area should be considered poor, because there are too many people who cannot maintain a normal life.

# data[].attributes.body
Income levels is a one-sided aspect of poverty and the definition should be all-sided to help others to comprehend.Poverty likely be used to describe the people who come from the lower class of any given society. On account to the developement of societies, the world is changing all the way simultaneously including the standard of poverty which is depends on the average of the basic needs and majority affordability.

# data[].attributes.body
Because crime means that criminals should be punished by courts, if the definition is not clear, it must causes many problems, such as avoiding punishment.

Researcher should define all kinds of crimes extremely accurate and can be understanded by people.

# data[].attributes.body
From my perspective, the definition of poverty is not a simple question. It should be defined from multi-dimension, like the difficulty of obtaining survival resources, whether they can receive education and basic medical care. So, the income is just one of them. I think income can only judge whether it is relatively poverty, but cannot judge whether it is absolutely poverty.

# data[].attributes.body
In my opinion, Poverty is made up of many factors, and it also causes tons of social issues, which is extremely complicated. Plus, the World Bank's criteria are so single, only based on the income, that they can not cover all the situation.

# data[].attributes.body
Poverty can’t be defined by such simple way, it’s influenced by lots of factors.
Absolute poverty defines people as poor if they lack the minimum set of resources a person needs to survive.And absolute poverty is a matter of acute deprivation, hunger, premature death and suffering.

# data[].attributes.body
Poverty is divided into absolute and relative poverty, with absolute poverty being the minimum resources a person needs to survive and it's a serious problem, with deprivation, hunger, early death and suffering.
The concept of relative poverty is a measure of the resources and livelihoods of the situation of some parts of the population relative to others. Poverty for me means not having enough money to pay the rent, not having the basic necessities to live on, and having the problem of food and shelter in my life.

# data[].attributes.body
First, the World Bank's report covers only a subset of the population. People in many poor areas do not use banks or financial instruments. Second, poverty is a complex term that includes the local environment and conditions. There are countries where people may have high incomes but still lack access to health care and education. Some areas have very low income but rich natural resources and live a happy life. In short, income level can be a measure of poverty, but not a definition of poverty.

# data[].attributes.headline
Absolute poverty refers to the inability to meet the minimum physiological needs of humans, just as the lowest physiological needs of the Malos demand theory cannot be met.

Poverty can not merely be defined by a specific income standard. The income level of individuals in different society varies, especially in those developing nations where people have rare means of reaching a relatively medium income level in developed societies but are currently living a sufficient life for the prices of living are also lower. Thus, to define the term 'poverty', the basic living recourses and the means to get these recourses should be taken into consideration.

# data[].attributes.body
Because "poverty" is a controversial word and it is hard to define as for someone in a specific time on a specific place. Maybe we are all considerd poor after 100 years.

# data[].attributes.body
I think the difinition of poverty is not a simple answer,and it is not only link to income.A person may have high salary in his region,but the region is so poor that people all living in there have difficulties to survive,this person still can be difined as pocerty.

As  for me, social science  is about to conduct a quantities of researches to explore human being in aspects of sociality, also to discover the reality of human nature and common things among people, in order to explain and predict the behavior of human community as well as dealing with the conflicts in society.

# data[].attributes.body
From my point of view,it is Inappropriate to define the word "poverty" in this simple way.I think if someone is not able to maintain his basic need,he is poor.

# data[].attributes.body
I think poverty actually has two definition: Absolute poverty and Relative poverty. And personal income just is a relative term, for example when a country's welfare is enough to support a person' s basic resources, then the person is not poverty although the person's income is not good.
