This textbook provides a clear, concise, and comprehensive
introduction to methodological issues encountered by the various
social science disciplines. It emphasizes applications, with
detailed examples, so that readers can put these methods to work in
their research. Within a unified framework, John Gerring and Dino
Christenson integrate a variety of methods - descriptive and
causal, observational and experimental, qualitative and
quantitative. The text covers a wide range of topics including
research design, data-gathering techniques, statistics, theoretical
frameworks, and social science writing. It is designed both for
those attempting to make sense of social science, as well as those
aiming to conduct original research. The text is accompanied by
online practice questions, exercises, examples, and additional
resources, including related readings and websites. An essential
resource for undergraduate and postgraduate programs in
communications, criminal justice, economics, business, finance,
management, education, environmental policy, international
development, law, political science, public health, public policy,
