Survey research, using questionnaires and interviews on large samples, is a key method of Sociology.

It suits Sociology because it studies attitudes, behaviours, and social characteristics across populations.

Physics relies on controlled experiments and measurement, not social surveys.

History works chiefly through archival documents and interpretation of past records.

Hermeneutics is the interpretive study of meaning in texts, not a survey-based discipline.

Other social sciences like political science and economics also use survey methods widely.
