Proceeding from a subjective and idealistic position, Lundberg rejected the objective importance of law and causality and put forward the operationalist method of defining concepts in sociology. An adherent of behaviorism, he refused to acknowledge the conscious motives of people's behavior. Since the stimulus and motive are identical with the sum of their consequences, the task of sociology, according to Lundberg, boils down to sorting out the features and characteristics of external behavior. Lundberg was an advocate of quantitative methods in sociology and the transference of the methods and models of natural sciences (particularly physics) to sociology.
