Summary/Abstract: This paper explores a relationship between ontological assumptions of social practice theories and research methodologies developed within them. The authors present the key assumptions of practice theory. They focus on what is common to the work of three key figures in the practice theory approach. The main methodological implications of these assumptions are then outlined. Finally, the authors examine the new strands of family research conducted in the spirit of practice theory. They use them as a case study that allows to identify the main risks and problems associated with the empirical use of practice theory as well as the strategies for addressing these challenges.
