Abstract
The paper is an attempt to find an objective solution to subjective problems of behaviour. It explains nature of physical and behavioural science. The nature of subject decides nature of methodology for treating a problem. ‘R’ and ‘Q’ methodologies are objective and subjective methodologies for solving a problem. Paper explains difference between two type of methodologies, steps needed for both and their relative merits and demerits. Q methodology is actually replacement of qualitative methodology but with much more objectivity and scientific bases. Blending both R & Q methodologies can give us triangulation method of research which is most effective. In the end investigator justifies application of triangulation method by taking a sample example.
