Marshall Graham · Answer 1

A. Disciplinary reductionism

Explanation:

Disciplinary reductionism emphasizes on breaking down a complex problem or study into various part and studying them separately so that knowledge gotten from studying them separately are combined into understanding a phenomenon as a whole. In this scenario, the study was broken down into two specialty, with the psychologist looking at individuals and sociologists looking at groups. It involves breaking down more complex things to simpler or fundamental things. Reductionism reduces complex things to interactions of their parts.
