From Hypotheses to Hard Facts — Empirical Methods in Political Science | UPSC PSIR Optional

This lecture explains the empirical approach, which relies on systematic observation, verifiable data, and testable hypotheses to explain political behaviour, institutions, and outcomes. You’ll learn core methods—surveys, experiments, case studies, comparative historical analysis, and statistical modelling—and see how each method answers different research questions. The video demonstrates causal inference, measurement issues, and real examples (voter behaviour studies, policy impact evaluations, public opinion analysis). It also shows how empirical findings inform policy and strengthen UPSC/PSIR answers with evidence‑based arguments.
