  • A.positive paradigm
  • B.critical paradigm
  • C.natural paradigm
  • D.interpretative paradigm

Answer: D

Max Weber's approach to understanding how people create meanings in natural settings is the interpretative paradigm. Weber stressed verstehen, the interpretive understanding of the meanings people give to their actions.

The positive paradigm seeks causal laws by measurement, and the critical paradigm aims at changing social structures. 'Natural paradigm' is not a recognised label for his approach. Weber's view was that social action must be understood through the meaning the actors attach to it.
