Sociologist
Sociologists study the development, structure, social
patterns and interrelationships of social groups and human
societies.
A sociologist may perform the following tasks:
- observe and investigate social groups and subjects, such
as the family, the community, education, industrial
relations, crime, politics, minority and ethnic relations,
poverty and mass communications
- research, collect and analyse data, often using
computers
- record and interpret facts and figures and write reports
- undertake systematic interviews of selected individuals
- live in the community being studied to assist their
understanding
- carry out survey design and interviews, and analyse and
interpret the information collected; e.g. to assist urban
planners in assessing people's views on the building of
high-rise flats or a new freeway.
Sociologists may be required to travel to conduct research
and to consult with other social scientists.
