However, the question of what exactly constitutes social mechanisms has not reached much consensus, and there is no shortage of conflicting views. Based on a survey of mechanism-based social science research, this article identifies five characteristics of social mechanisms: (1) Social mechanisms are means for explanation. (2) Social mechanisms entail causality. (3) Social mechanisms are a response to, revision of, and refutation of covering laws in social sciences. (4) Social mechanisms have multiple levels. (5) Social mechanisms welcome conceptualizations and analyses of temporality. Key words: Social mechanisms; social science; philosophy; explanation; causality
