Positivist or Interactionist?

     Sociologists spend their time doing experiments and asking questions so that they get solve sociological issues. The question is which approach helps to get more reliable answers: positivist or interactionist? It is difficult to decide because they both contribute to helping sociologists. The positivist approach is based on statistics and limited questionnaires. This approach seems to be more reliable but what if the statistics aren't accurate? The interactionist approach goes more in-depth because of unstructured interviews. This approach can be seen as biased and unreliable because what if the person that you are interviewing isn't telling the truth? It is hard to decide which approach would be most helpful. They can both lead to false information. However, they are both helpful to sociologists. Which one do you think is most helpful?
