It in turn has many branches, each of which is considered a "social science". The social sciences include, but are not limited to, economics, political science, human geography, demography, management, psychology, sociology, anthropology, archaeology, jurisprudence, history, and linguistics . The term is also sometimes used to refer specifically to the field of sociology, the original' science of society', established in the 19th century . A more detailed list of sub-disciplines within the social sciences can be found at Outline of social science . </P> <P> Positivist social scientists use methods resembling those of the natural sciences as tools for understanding society, and so define science in its stricter modern sense . Interpretivist social scientists, by contrast, may use social critique or symbolic interpretation rather than constructing empirically falsifiable theories, and thus treat science in its broader sense . In modern academic practice, researchers are often eclectic, using multiple methodologies (for instance, by combining the quantitative and qualitative researchs). The term social research has also acquired a degree of autonomy as practitioners from various disciplines share in its aims and methods . </P>
