    Social science history faced challenges in the late 1980s due to an increased emphasis on quantitative methods that did not consider the complexity of human behavior, according to J. Morgan Kousser. Quantitative history often ignored important qualitative factors and did not capture the full context of historical events. Kousser argued social science historians must find ways to integrate quantitative and qualitative research to gain a more comprehensive understanding of history.
