The use of a perspective on historical event and ethnicity, by means of problem-oriented sociological and socio-psychological research, has long been carried out by the research team at the Institute of Social Sciences of the SAS and its collaborators. We can predominantly observe two procedures in the case of the use of the sociohistorical method: 1. direct research – carried out in cooperation with representatives of other social sciences, which forms the future source of historical research. The historian, in collaboration with a specialist from another scientific discipline, forms the future source of historical research. 2. Indirect research based on the use of the already conducted social science research (interviews, questionnaires, statistics, interpretation tables, graphs and other charts, graphs, diagrams, analyses) for the purposes of historical research, without the direct intervention of the historian at the stage of the “source” preparation. The historian implements a critique of the original sources, observing and critically evaluating what methods and procedures were used to create the material. The use of the socio-historical method is documented by the authors of the study with some examples from practice. Conjunction of the possibilities of the historian’s view of the present and the past through sociology and social psychology research is illustrated in the study by comparing selected results of the conducted research from 2017 versus 2004. The presented experimental experience proves that the use of methods of sociology and social psychology as postmodern auxiliary historical sciences is a way they can be used as a source for the needs of research and interpretation of history.
