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. .SociologyMethodologySocial sciencesStatistical methodsMathematical statisticsData processingSociological MethodsStatistics in Social Sciences, Humanities, Law, Education, Behavorial Sciences, Public PolicyStatistics and ComputingMetodologia de les ciències socialsthubInvestigació quantitativathubLlibres electrònicsthubSociologyMethodology.Social sciencesStatistical methods.Mathematical statisticsData processing.Sociological Methods.Statistics in Social Sciences, Humanities, Law, Education, Behavorial Sciences, Public Policy.Statistics and Computing.Metodologia de les ciències socialsInvestigació quantitativa300.72Stockemer Danielauthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut791919MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910337712703321Quantitative methods for the social sciences1770674UNINA
