Abstract
     We consider about analytic models in sociology, comparing analytic models in sociology with game theory in economics. We argue that analytical models which use subjective variables are suitable for sociology. We show that the models which handle subjective variable are useful even if game theory can explain the concerned sociological phenomena with equilibrium analysis. Moreover, we argue that the analytic models in sociology should have some basic principles. We propose three basic principles and show that some analytic models in sociology are derived from the three basic principles.
