It is often said that interpretivist theory does not, in principle, reject quantitative methods. That said, how could an interpretivist defend using a quantitative method (e.g., statistical model; game theory) as part of their research if they admit that conceptualizing human behavior by way of deductive models and categorical correlations is to fundamentally misunderstand the nature of human subjects? And, why would an interpretivist choose to employ a quantitative method if they admit that the objects of their investigation and the tools by which their investigation is carried out share the same social context?
