Abstract : The core and the central objective of this paper is to amplify and emphasize the importance of synchronic- diachronic approach to research, and establish it as a core and a central tenet is sociology and in social and cultural anthropology with a large number of potential downstream uses and applications. We begin this paper by defining the meanings of the terms synchronic, diachronic and synchronic-diachronic, and then proceed to speculate how these concepts may be applied in the real-world. Next, we review our papers on the symbiotic approaches to sociocultural change, and diachronic extensions of it, and explain how the concepts enshrined therein may have a bearing on our paper. We also then proceed by presenting a large number of different examples or use cases, to bring out the various nuances and intricacies of our approach. Various statistical concepts such as experimental research design, quasi-experimental research design, randomized control trials, independent and dependant variables, time series analysis, trend analysis, exponential smoothing, time series analysis, ANOVA analysis, panel study, cohort study, longitudinal analysis, cross-sectional analysis, and normal distributions, are also explored, and their implications for our paper assessed and clearly brought out. We then do hope, expect, and anticipate, that this paper will eventually become a crucial component of twenty-first century social science research.
