Abstract: Many kinds of theories have been developed to explain human behavior. They may be classified in many ways - in terms of outstanding men, of schools of psychology, in terms of the emphasis placed upon certain concepts or areas of study. A way of classifying which is useful for the purpose of this paper is one which differentiates between a) theories which explain human behavior as a function of factors which may be coexistent but independent of each other, and b) theories which explain human behavior as a function of groups of factors constituting a continuously interacting field.

TL;DR: In this paper, a survey method is used to study social structure and the relationships that make up that structure, without neglecting the relationships which make up the structure of the structure.
Abstract: Survey research methods have often led to the neglect of social structure and of the relations among individuals. On the other hand, survey methods are highly efficient in bringing in a large volume of data—amenable to statistical treatment—at a relatively low cost in time and effort. Can the student of social structure enjoy the advantages of the survey without neglecting the relationships which make up that structure? In other words, can he use a method which ordinarily treats each individual as an isolated unit in order to study social structure?
