With a clear, engaging writing style and fascinating examples using
a variety of real data, this text covers the contemporary
statistical techniques that students will encounter in the world of
social research. It covers these techniques at an introductory
level and carefully guides students through increasingly complex
examples without intimidating them. Recurrent examples using four
timely topics-health, immigration, income inequality, and everyday
harassment-help students understand how the techniques fit
together, and how to use the techniques in combination with one
another. A superb author-created web resource accompanies the text.
How to make clear presentations of research results is also a
feature of the text. New to this edition: New research shows how
the techniques has changed over time in the academic literature,
showing students that social scientists really do use the
statistical techniques the book teaches and giving them ample
motivation to learn the techniques. Examples throughout the book
use the most recent data from the General Social Survey. Four
timely topics are threaded throughout the book: immigration,
health, income inequality, and everyday harassment. Linneman uses
these topics recurrently with different statistical techniques to
illustrate how the techniques are related to one another. The new
edition more explicitly emphasizes that the various techniques the
students are learning are often used in combination with one
another. After introducing a new technique and showing how to use
it on its own, Linneman then systematically offers examples of how
to combine that technique with techniques students learned in
previous chapters. Most of the literature examples that end each
chapter are new and use very recent research from top academic
journals (three quarters from 2015 or later, nearly half from
2019). They feature research that covers timely topics such as
Black Lives Matter, transgender health, social media, police
behavior, and climate change. The SPSS demonstrations are
completely redone, both in the book and on the website's
demonstration videos, using more recent data. Linneman applies his
experience teaching his own students SPSS (knowing where students
get confused) to clarify his explanations in these demonstrations.
