Positive (Social Sciences) Information

In the humanities and social sciences, the term positive (occasionally positivist) is used in at least two ways. Positive means also 'value free'. In this sense, the opposite of positive is normative. An example would be positive, as opposed to normative, economic analysis. Positive statements are also often referred to as descriptive statements.
