Methodologically, social complexity is theory-neutral, meaning that it accommodates both local and global approaches to sociological research.<ref name="CCS-MMT"/> The very idea of social complexity arises out of the [[Historical comparative research|historical-comparative]] methods of early sociologists; obviously, this method is important in developing, defining, and refining the theoretical construct of social complexity. As complex social systems have many parts and there are many possible relationships between those parts, appropriate methodologies are typically determined to some degree by the research level of analysis [[Differentiation (sociology)|differentiated]]<ref>Luhmann, Niklas (1982). ''The Differentiation of Society.'' New York, NY: Columbia University Press.</ref> by the researcher according to the level of description or explanation demanded by the research hypotheses.

通过约翰·乌里（John Urry）的工作，加上全球性网络中的学者们对社会学的研究，不断涌现出新的全球性网络分析方法，这些方法同时与曼努埃尔·卡斯特尔（Manuel Castells）的工作以及伊曼纽尔·沃勒斯坦（Immanuel Wallerstein）的后续工作相关。自1990年代后期以来，Wallerstein越来越多地利用复杂性理论，尤其是Ilya Prigogine的著作。动态社会网络分析与系统思想之外的各种传统方法学相关，包括图论，社会学中的传统社会网络分析和数学社会学。它还通过Duncan Watts和Steven Strogatz的研究与混沌数学和复杂动力学联系在一起，并通过Albert-László Barabási和他在无标度网络上的研究成果发展出分形几何法。

The development of [[computational sociology]] involves such scholars as [[Nigel Gilbert]], [[Klaus G. Troitzsch]], [[Joshua M. Epstein]], and others. The foci of methods in this field include [[social simulation]] and [[data-mining]], both of which are sub-areas of computational sociology. Social simulation uses computers to create an artificial laboratory for the study of complex social systems; [[Data mining|data-mining]] uses machine intelligence to search for non-trivial patterns of relations in large, complex, real-world databases. The emerging methods of [[socionics]] are a variant of computational sociology.<ref>Gilbert, Nigel and Klaus G. Troitzsch (2005). ''Simulation for Social Scientists'', 2nd Edition.

计算社会学受到许多微观社会学领域以及系统科学和系统思维的宏观传统的影响。符号互动理论，社会交换理论和理性选择理论的微观影响，以及罗伯特·阿克塞尔罗德（Robert Axelrod）等计算政治学家的微观中心思想，共同促进了计算社会学自下而上，基于主体建模方法的发展，进而研究于复杂系统。这就是约书亚·爱泼斯坦（Joshua M. Epstein）所称的生成科学。
