摘要：The postnonclassical paradigm has increasingly become a conceptual basis for social researchin various fields in an attempt to overcome the limitations of the classical andnon-classical approaches. Subjects of social research activities require changes in theparadigm at all levels of research: from the statement of the problem to the elaborationof the appropriate methods and the analysis of the research data. The search for new researchmethods, technologies and techniques plays a crucial role in this process. One ofthe most promising methods that has rapidly developed in recent years is the technologyof virtual reality (VR). This technology is being widely applied to both natural scienceand social science research. In this article, we examine the possibilities of using VR technologyfor the resolution of current tasks in social research from the perspective of thepostnonclassical approach.
