Online resources: This case study discusses the different outlooks on 'observation' that are most commonly found in social science quantitative methodology by analysing the methodological approach that supported the author's 4-year PhD project on the sociology of theoretical physics. He highlights how his pre-existing immersion into the social world of theoretical physics was the key element in allowing him to describe the sociology of the theoretical 'thinking science' subculture in a field where 'observation' cannot be carried out in a typical way.
