Sociological Theory and the Canon

It's Sociology Sunday! Today we're talking theory.

What is sociological theory?

Sociological theory is a set of interrelated ideas that allow for the (1) systematization of knowledge of the social world (2) the explanation of that world, and (3) predictions about the future of that world, and which are falsifiable through empirical research.

Theory provides a possible answer to questions like, “why did this happen?” or, “why did they do that?” This means theory is speculation, not fact, but unlike “ideas” generally, theory is speculation driven by a more formal, systematic, process, which incorporates the work of previous theorists and research findings.

The Sociological Canon

Some theories are more popular than others. Some theories, while unpopular, are considered “pivotal” to the foundation of sociology. The “sociological canon” helps us identify the “popular” and “pivotal” theories.

The sociological canon is defined as the theories, ideas, and texts that are widely considered as the most important in the field of sociology (Ritzer and Stepnisky 2018)

“I’m not a regular mom theory, I’m a cool mom theory!”

The canonized theories are sort of like the “cool mom” in Mean Girls (oshowing my age here, the original 😘) – others exist, but these are the ones we tend to think of first when we think of “the mom in Mean Girls” (or, in this case, “sociological theory”).

Critics of the canon argue that the canon is not a neutral construction; rather, it is affected by power and the politics of the theory. To some degree, they are right.

The field of sociology has historically privileged theories that have testable hypotheses, known as “positivist” theories, and theories produced by white men faculty. In this, we can see that the canon, and relatedly, the field of sociology, have tended to reflect power structures in society more broadly. Which means that, yes, technically the canon is full of theories created by old white dude philosophers in Europe in the late 1800s to early 1900s. Nowadays, though, most sociologists agree that the canon includes much more than Marx, Weber, and Durkheim.

Meaning the canon is now considered to include theories from other classical theorists writing during the same time as Mark/Weber/Durkheim, like W.E.B. DuBois and Ida B. Wells. The canon has also expanded in the last 40 or so years to include contemporary theories, such as emancipatory, feminist, and queer theories. These expansions were important steps towards accounting for the reality of the field as it presently exists, and to correctly reflect the field’s foundations which expand far beyond whiteness, masculinity, and western imperial culture. Presently, women make up the (quantitative) majority of sociology faculty, and while this women majority was historically white, the number of women, including and especially women of color, in sociology continues to grow, substantially outpacing white men.

Sociological Theory and Empirical Research

Empirical research is rooted in theory.

Sometimes these theories are the driving force behind research, constituting the research question for an empirical study. You begin with the possible answer to the question, the theory, and you investigate to see if it holds up–your results may call into question some or all of the theory’s propositions. This is called “deductive reasoning.”

Theory is not always the starting point of research, though. Sometimes theory is generated from research. This process is called “inductive reasoning.” In this case, you begin with observations, draw conclusions, and from those conclusions, generate new ideas about the social world.

Deductive reasoning is often linked with quantitative research. Quantitative researchers usually have some idea of theory before forming their research question, and some quantitative research is constructed with the goal of testing (falsifying) theoretical propositions. Qualitative research, in contrast, often uses inductive reasoning, beginning with observation and developing theory as part of the study’s conclusions. This is not always the case with qualitative research, though. One approach to creating contemporary sociological theory assumes the “best” theory is constructed via inductive reasoning, and thus, begins with observation, absent of pre-existing ideas. This is known as a “grounded theory” approach, because it produces theory that is “grounded” in observation of tangible facts instead of based upon pre-existing abstract ideas. The sociologists Barney Glaser and Anselm Strauss are often credited with popularizing the “grounded theory” approach, which they outlined in their 1967 book “The discovery of grounded theory: Strategies for Qualitative Research”.

Other approaches to qualitative research, like content analysis, may start with theory or observations.

New year, good time to strengthen your retirement income strategy

There’s something about the start of a new year that gives us the impetus to make a change. Often, the holiday downtime triggers a new-found resolve to “get important affairs in order” – thus a perfect time for super funds to activate member engagement for 2024.

Effective engagement can only be built on a sound knowledge base. This takes us to the critical question: “How well do you know your members?”

Last year, a joint APRA and ASIC review of the approach by Super funds to new obligations under the retirement income covenant found fundamental gaps that need to be filled.

The review identified Understanding Members’ Needs as a key gap in designing a retirement income strategy that is appropriate for members. It found that 12 out of 15 assessed Registrable Superannuation Entity (RSE) licensees recognised they had gaps in critical member data, both around members’ financial positions and income needs in retirement. Yet only four had developed robust plans to address these data gaps to enhance their strategy.

“Closing that knowledge gap, from a customer experience perspective, is easier than you may think,” said CSBA CX Director of Finance, Sam Monteath. “But it does require strategic planning, collaboration, and commitment.”

What to do:

Audit your data

Trustees hold a massive amount of data, possibly stored within departments and not visible across the organisation. Get clarity on what data you hold and identify the gaps that impede you from truly understanding your members. Engage expert assistance if needed.

Share existing knowledge

This is an opportunity to remove information silos that prevent data from being shared across the organisation. Knowledge is power, and teams are empowered when there is collaboration and possibility to leverage data to inform strategy.

Address the data gaps

Draw on a range of data sources, both internal and external, to deepen member understanding. Use new insights to broaden membership sub-classes, beyond age and superannuation balance, and develop needs-based cohorts.

Collecting segment-based insights does not have to be expensive. A qualitative methodology is a cost-effective way to obtain deep knowledge that can be applied across the member base. We see strong participation across cohorts, even those members who are already retired, as they are often unprepared, unaware of their options, and seek guidance.

Design best-practice research methodology

Bespoke retirement research design can explore more, extract more, and identify more pertinent insights that can have far-reaching outcomes – for branding, marketing, and engagement.

This is powerful intel for trustees, enabling them to become part of the consideration set when members are seeking guidance and advice. By developing relevant, specific tools and materials, trustees have an opportunity to support members, preventing their reliance on external advice.

Our approach is fully compliant with research and privacy standards. Participants are clear on why information is being collected, how it will be stored, and that all information remains confidential.

Where funds can make a difference

Monteath: “We know that members look to their funds for guidance because this is an area in which many members have little knowledge or understanding.”

“We also know that those in pre-retirement struggle to balance current financial priorities with the long-term planning for the future. They know they want to maintain their lifestyle in retirement, but don’t understand what this means in terms of numbers or have a plan to get there.”

Super funds have a tremendous opportunity and responsibility to empower and educate members around their financial needs for retirement. However, any meaningful guidance must start with gaining deep knowledge of their unique circumstances.

How CSBA research specialists can help

As CX experts, CSBA offers bespoke solutions to meet our clients where they’re at. Our qualitative and quantitative research will help develop a solid, deep understanding of members’ needs and nuances at a granular cohort level. This enables trustees to apply different strategies and embrace the true intent of the retirement income covenant.

Successful strategic planning starts with deep member insights.

Qualitative research is a sophisticated methodology that explores the complexities of people's attitudes, motivations, and actions. Qualitative research provides rich contextual insights that are not possible to obtain from quantitative data alone. Methods that are used to achieve this include focus groups, interviews, and observations. It provides a thorough grasp of individuals or groups by examining the underlying causes of behaviours and perceptions. Businesses can ensure alignment with the needs and preferences of their target audience by making informed decisions regarding product development, marketing strategies, and organisational improvements thanks to this depth of understanding.

Finding the Right Goals for Your Personal Growth

In a society that is often driven by quantifiable results and quantitative accomplishments, Qualitative goals are sometimes overshadowed. But these goals have immense value for cultivating personal growth, improving well-being and creating meaningful experiences. We will examine what these goals are, why they're important, and the best way to set them and achieve them in order to reach your potential.

Understanding Qualitative Goals:

Quantitative goals focus more on numerical metrics than subjective values and qualities. The quantitative goals may be measurable and tangible, like a weight loss goal or revenue target. However, the qualitative goals focus more on personal development and growth. The goals are focused on traits like creativity, resilience, empathy and fulfillment. This emphasizes the process of personal growth and development.

Qualitative objectives are essential:

Promote Personal Development: Quality goals are catalysts to personal development, as they encourage people to examine their values, aspirations, and passions. Self-awareness and resilience are promoted, as well as a better understanding of strengths and weaknesses.

Enhancing well-being: Achieving qualitative goals may lead to greater satisfaction and a sense of wellbeing. When happiness, inner peace and fulfillment are prioritized, people can live more harmoniously and in balance, regardless of the external conditions.

Nurturing Internal Motivation: While quantitative goals are dependent upon external motivation, or even validation, the pursuit of qualitative goals is based on intrinsic motivation. Personal growth and improvement become their own rewards, resulting in sustained efforts and commitment.

Promotion of Holistic Achievement: Qualifying goals can encourage an individual to embrace a holistic success approach, which encompasses physical, relational, and emotional aspects. Individuals can feel more fulfilled and satisfied by prioritizing quality and experience over outcome.

Setting Qualitative goals and Pursuing them:

Consider your passions and values. What do you admire most about other people? What do you desire to experience in your own life and why? Aligning your qualitative goals and intrinsic motivations will ensure that they are authentic.

Define Specific Quality or Experiences: List specific experiences, qualities or skills you would like to improve or develop. Your goals should be expressed in qualitative terms, whether it is to foster creativity, cultivate mindfulness or deepen relationships.

Setting Intentions and themes: Instead of setting specific goals or outcomes, focus on your intentions or themes. Instead of setting a goal to attain a particular level in your career or to be successful, you can set an intent to prioritise growth, education, and fulfilment in your professional journey.

The Journey is the most important thing to do. It's the best way to embrace the growth of your personal self and the discovery that occurs when you pursue qualitative goals. Celebrate the small victories. Learn from the setbacks. Be open to new opportunities.

Regularly Reflect and Adjust: Periodically review your progress toward your qualitative goals, and make any necessary adjustments. You should consider whether the current goals you are pursuing align with evolving values and ambitions, and make any necessary adjustments.

Practice self-compassion. Treat yourself with kindness as you strive to achieve your goals. Accept that it takes effort and time to achieve growth. Be kind and compassionate with yourself in difficult or doubtful moments.

Quality goals are a great way to achieve personal fulfillment and happiness. Individuals who prioritize qualities, experiences and intrinsic motives embark on a journey to self-discovery. By empowering individuals through reflection and mindful action and an authentic commitment, qualitative goals help them unlock their true potential, creating a meaningful and purposeful life. Let qualitative goals be your guide to a better and more fulfilling life.
