Remiantis literatūra ir istorinių šaltinių kritine analize, parodomi valdžios siekiai kuriant sociologinių tyrimų centrus ir apibrėžiant jų veiklos pobūdį Lietuvoje. Aptariamos pagrindinės sociologinių tyrinėjimų kryptys, jų problematika ir tyrimo ypatumai.

Many painful to the nation processes, namely the consequences of private property liquidation and deportations, the speci icity of social psychological climate under the conditions of totalitarianism were not described. Sociology lacked pluralism; it could not fully ful il the function of society self-knowledge. The human being was engaged in sociology only in the context of economic development aimed at creating socialism. There were no investigations into a number of important parameters for social psychological distances between classes and strata. Social theories and speci ic analyses did not reveal vertical shadow differentiation between the members of the contemporary society. The manner of living of the sub-culture representatives placed on the lowest stages of the social structure as well as immigrants was treated poorly. Researching lacked the humanist approach, a deeper revelation of meanings and theoretical soundness. Despite these restrictions, at present, there is a possibility of conducting real research on the society and related processes thus joining the community of sociologists worldwide.
