摘要： QCA(定性比较分析)是当前社会科学领域被广泛应用的一种新研究范式,但未被正确理解、规范使用的现象较为普遍,影响QCA解决问题的实效性,并招致一些误解。为此,首先,通过设计QCA应用的典型情景,揭示QCA求解过程中关键决策点,提供QCA核心指标的计算过程与方法,透视QCA工作原理;其次,完整地描述QCA求解过程,包括三大阶段与10个步骤,探索QCA在方法和技术层面合理应用的策略;最后,指出QCA是融合定性与定量思维的组态比较方法,在评估和预测方面有广泛的应用前景。

关键词: 定性比较分析, 因果复杂性, 反事实分析, 校准, 简约解

Abstract: QCA (Qualitative Comparative Analysis), though a new research paradigm widely adopted in the social science field, is commonly found not to be fully understood and standardized, thus reducing its effectiveness, and even triggering some misunderstandings sometimes. In view of this, this paper, through the design of typical scenarios of QCA application, reveals the key decision points in the QCA solution process. The calculation process and method of QCA core indicators are provided, and the working principle of QCA is seen through. In addition, the QCA solution process, including three stages and 10 steps, is completely described to explore the strategy of rational application of QCA at the method and technical level. Finally, it is pointed out that QCA, a method of configuration comparison that integrates qualitative and quantitative analysis, has a wide application prospect in evaluation and prediction.

Key words: qualitative comparative analysis, causal complexity, counter-factual analysis, calibration, parsimonious solution
