Resumen: It is well accepted and known that social sciences, since their foundation, are constantly involved in a renewing debate about their theoretical fundaments and methodological tools. So far, many studies have highlighted social researchers’ skills and behaviors inrelation with the best practices of carrying on research projects. We can briefly resume two paradigmatic approaches with regard to sociologists’ attitudes in the fieldwork: on the one side, traditional positivism advocates for a fulfillment of objectivity considering the researcher as a neutral observer; on the other side, a more hermeneutic approach shows skepticism about the excessive neutrality of the researcher because it does not allow any interpretative insights.
