Although it is generally accepted that theory and facts are inextriably intertwined it is of utmost importance that scientists should consider the methodological questions posed in connection with the logical deduction of relationships between variables in the process of explaining social action and the building of theoretical frameworks about social action. Three aspects with important methodological implication can, inter alia, be identified: 1. 1. The effects of conceptualization on the description of variables and eventually on the logical deduction of relationships between dependant variables.2. 2. The implication of attaching a weak connectedness or interpretation to the “if ..... then”-expressions when dealing with social data rather than the strict logical implication attached to these expressions when dealing with data of the natural sciences.3. 3. The necessity for the simultaneous accountance of all variables as well as variations in these variables in the explanation of social action
