This paper centers around three meta problems, i.e., the three crises of sport social science: the identity is uncertain; the status is absent; the character is assimilated. The conclusions are as follows: (1)The identity of “science” for sport social science, especially sport humanity science, is not yet ascertained. The factors concerning taking sport social science as “science” can be studied seriously, and it may be included in a certain branch of social science. (2) At present, the related context(the definition of sport andsport science, the nature and classification of sport science) cannot reflect, reveal or contain sport social science and its attribute. To a large extent, it cannot be compatible with sport social science. (3)The value analysis, macro-abstract doctrine, experience qualitative study and the problems of validity and reliability included in sport social science make it different from sport natural-somatic science in terms of thinking mode and research paradigm. The appeal for law is not applicable to sport social science. The difference of subject and research should be reflected in sport social science, which should be balanced rationally with value consideration. |
