摘　　要：实验方法能否运用于社会科学研究之中,历来备受争议。文章通过对社会科学中实验方法兴起的历史考察,以及"实验"概念的可接受性、实验的受控特征、实验方法在经济学中的运用等方面的论述,探讨了社会科学中实验方法的适用性问题。实验方法将社会科学与自然科学建基于相同的方法论基础之上,这就为消解自然科学与社会科学长期以来所存在的方法论分歧提供了一种解决方案。Whether the experimental method can be applied to social science research is controversial. Through an overall examination of experimental method in social science,and a discussion about the acceptability of the concept of ＂experiment＂,controlled characteristics of experiment,as well as the application of experiment method in economics,this paper discusses the applicability of the method in social science. It is the experimental method that makes the social science based on the same methodology basis as the natural science,which might provide a solution to resolve the long-standing methodological differences between the natural science and social science.
