Measuring
Measuring is the methodology used to determine the quantitative aspects of an object through the use of special technical devices and units of measurement. The relationship between the quantity and features of objects are determined using this methodology.
Using measuring as methodology in Azerbaijani Multiculturalism, it is possible to determine the quantitative indicators of phenomena studied in the sphere of multiculturalism and find out their specific features. For example, by counting the number of members of religious communities that take part in presidential, parliamentary and municipal elections it is possible to determine the political activeness of a community.

Experimentation
Experimentation (experimentum in Latin, which means practice) is a methodology of empirical research that institutes observation in order to determine the truthfulness of a provision and studies objects and phenomena in controlled and managed conditions. Unlike observation the situation studied does not exist before the beginning of the experiment. It is created for that purpose. Unlike other empirical research methodologies, experimentation is able to intervene in the research. Experimentation excludes all influences and factors that hinder the creation of the necessary conditions, and includes observation and measuring with the necessary technical devices.
As the other general methodologies of scientific understanding, experimentation may also be used in Azerbaijani Multiculturalism. For example, an experiment may be conducted to verify the truth of the claim ‘There is no ethnic and religious discrimination in Azerbaijan.’ A controlled and guided observation situation would be created for the experiment in which respondents would be asked questions and given practical choices to make. This experiment would allow the truthfulness of the claim to be verified.
