    Toward social research as shared inquiry: A case of participatory research
    (1983) Alfonso, Herminia M.
    As social researchers moved into the 1980s with a growing vacuum created by the sagging influence of "the research tradition of searching for laws that govern relevant variables", exemplified in what are called "variable analytic studies" (Bormann, 1980), there has been a felt need to conceptualize afresh the approaches to social research. As part of the endeavor, we attempt here to compare traditional research, which we shall designate as social research for purposes of this paper, with participatory approaches in research, which we shall call shared inquiry.
