Research Methodology in the Human Sciences

Qualitative modeling is a method that constructs conceptual models from rich qualitative data, such as interviews and field observations, in order to achieve a deeper understanding of complex phenomena. This study, while providing a precise definition of qualitative modeling, examines its history, objectives, levels, and various methods. The research findings indicate that qualitative modeling is a powerful tool for delving into the depth of issues and revealing the intricacies of social phenomena. The primary aim of this method is to uncover new patterns, concepts, and theories that are not attainable through quantitative methods. Researchers employ various approaches, including grounded theory, thematic analysis, and structural modeling, and utilize tools such as qualitative analysis software and diagrams to analyze qualitative data, thereby gaining deeper insights into human experiences. The findings further demonstrate that qualitative modeling is an effective instrument for unveiling the complexity of phenomena, generating novel theories, and designing effective interventions. Overall, qualitative modeling is an invaluable tool for researchers seeking a more profound comprehension of social phenomena. Ultimately, this study underscores the importance of qualitative modeling in qualitative research and introduces it as an efficacious tool for the production of new knowledge.
