Like quantitative analysis itself, the text Social Research begins
with a question. Why do social scientists use numbers to talk about
everything from the stock market to human emotions? Social Research
provides an answer with its common sense approach to the
quantitative scientific method. The book balances imagination and
reason with theoretical and mathematical information processing to
help students understand the important link between social research
and foundational math skills. Initially, readers are asked to
consider the type of tasks to which such analysis might be applied.
They learn about conceptualization, units of analysis, and the
quantitative mind. These can then be applied as students explore
specific tools, including measurement, variables, hypothesis and
experiment, and controlled comparison. It shows detailed examples
of how to use both SPSS and R software programs for basic
statistical operations and programming needs. The book also
discusses random sampling, the central limit theorem, Type I and
Type II errors and bivariate and multiple regression. Social
Research is about why science works, and while it includes
mathematics, it does so in an accessible way. The book is suitable
for undergraduate methods courses that meet the requirement for
quantitative sciences, and it can also be a supplemental text to
first graduate-level quantitative method classes that require
mathematical training.
