Agentenbasierte Modelle in der Soziologie

Über die Integration von Empirie und Modellierung

  • Chapter
Die Analytische Soziologie in der Diskussion

Zusammenfassung

Dieser Beitrag zielt darauf ab zu illustrieren, wie agentenbasiertes Modellieren für die Integration von Theorie und Empirie bei mechanismenbasierten Erklärungen hilfreich sein kann. Unser Ausgangspunkt ist, dass die Erforschung der MikroGrundlagen sozialer Resultate der wichtigste Stützpfeiler bei Untersuchungen in der Analytischen Soziologie ist. Wenn Makro-Resultate auf Handlungen, Motivationen und Interaktionen von Individuen zurückgeführt werden, kann die Soziologie weit informativere Erklärungen liefern als nur durch aggregierte Perspektiven (vgl. z.B. Bruch/Mare 2006: 667f).
