Sociological theories are complex theoretical frameworks that sociologists use to explain and analyze variously how social action, social processes, and social structures work. Sociological theories are sometimes called social theories, though the later term generally refers to interdisciplinary theory. In seeking to understand society, sociologists use both sociological theory and interdisciplinary social theories to organize social research.
