social scientists
Human behavior analysts
Social scientists are researchers and academics who study human society and social relationships using systematic methods.
They work in fields such as sociology, anthropology, economics, political science, and psychology, examining how people behave in groups, how institutions function, and how cultures develop.
Social scientists have studied the effects of social media on political polarization.
The term distinguishes these researchers from natural scientists, who study the physical world rather than human behavior.
