QUANTITATIVE METHODS FOR THE SOCIAL SCIENCES - ...

This textbook offers an essential introduction to survey research and quantitative methods.
Building on the premise that statistical methods need to be learned in a practical fashion  the
book guides students through the various steps of the survey research process and helps to
apply those steps toward a real example. In detail  the textbook introduces students to the
four pillars of survey research and quantitative analysis: (1) the importance of survey
research  (2) preparing a survey  (3) conducting a survey and (4) analyzing a survey. Students
are shown how to create their own questionnaire based on some theoretically derived hypotheses
to achieve empirical findings for a solid dataset. Lastly  they use said data to test their
hypotheses in a bivariate and multivariate realm. The book explains the theory  rationale and
mathematical foundations of these tests. In addition  it provides clear instructions on how to
conduct the tests in SPSS and Stata. Given the breadth of its coverage  the textbook is
suitable for introductory statistics  survey research or quantitative methods classes in the
social sciences.
