Abstract
- This article contains a reflection that intends to assert the heuristic fertility of integrating common procedural models with analysis of deviant cases. This analysis was originally proposed by Paul F. Lazarsfeld and promoted between the '40s and the '60s at Columbia School, without much impact on quantitative social research circles. Deviant cases are cases that do not display expected behaviour or attitudes. Instead of considering deviant cases irrelevant because they are residual, this procedural strategy accentuates their importance and promotes an in-depth study to maximize data quality and support interpretation processes of research results.
