Social science is a very complex object of study, coupled with the lack of mature and effective research methods, it has often been suspected of the possibility. Compared with the natural sciences, social science research methods on the first objective is weak, social science research has been unable to get rid of people's subjective factors in the study will be more or less subject to some moral and ethical, religious beliefs, values, etc. impact. Second, social science research with the ambiguity and imprecision. The study of social science is extremely complex, people in the study generally qualitative analysis of the ways in which research findings ambiguous nor accurate. Third, the social science research findings are often not tested. Unlike the natural sciences and social sciences, as can repeat the experiment, generally used observation and social survey methods, for some complicated and reversible phenomenon is impossible to test. Of social science research methods of the lack of existence of so many and want to get recognized research results can be said to be very difficult.And social sciences face of such difficulties, drawing on the natural sciences and social sciences research is the development of an inevitable requirement. Natural science research methods can be more objective, accurate and complete grasp of the structure of the objective world, nature and law, which has social science research provides simple formal language, accurate quantitative analysis and rigorous proof of the reasoning process. Natural science research methods, mathematical methods is most important. Because the mathematical method has a high degree of abstraction, accuracy and application of its universality. The social sciences, economics, the first application of mathematical methods to construct a variety of economic models. With the social development and the advancement of technology in all areas of social science research began modeling approach to solve the problem. In the social science model method used in the study, so that the social sciences in the objectivity, accuracy and testability, both have a difference.In this paper, three aspects to discuss the social sciences in the model problem. First, the theory basis of social science modelization. Similarity theory is the theoretical model based on similarity theory can be established in accordance with the actual system, a similar model. Mathematical model of natural science model, especially as a model for social science research model provides a theoretical basis. Compared with the natural sciences, in social science research in the use of modeling approach is very necessary. Second, the approach of social science modelization. This chapter from two perspectives, one being a social science and scientific, mainly discussed the application of social science research methods of the natural sciences the possibility and necessity. Which mathematical methods in a quantitative research methods into the social sciences, the social sciences becoming more and more mathematical. The second is the function of social science models and applications. Model to explain the main features and predictive control functions in all areas of society have been a very good application. Especially in the computer's highly developed, the model has been deep into more complex areas of the community. Third, the significance of social science modelization. Model has penetrated into all spheres of society so that social science has become more scientific, and promote the coordinated development of society and human civilization and progress. In short, this is the general description of the whole model of social science issues.
