Social research is conducted on the basis of some theoretical and methodological foundation known as research paradigms such as Positivism, Critical rationalism, hermeneutics or interpretivism or social construction or phenomenology.The particular ontology and epistemology of each research paradigm guide the researcher for using the particular research methodology. The present paper specifically focuses on how the Positivistic research paradigm helps the researcher in solving research questions by using an Inductive Logic of Inquiry.
