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. 700 1$aStockemer$bDaniel$3VANV221319$0791919 712 $aSpringer $3VANV108073$4650 801 $aIT$bSOL$c20240614$gRICA 856 4 $uhttps://books.google.com/books?id=YPh6DwAAQBAJ&printsec=frontcover&dq=*Quantitative+methods+for+the+social+sciences+:+a+practical+introduction+with+examples+in+SPSS+and+stata+/&hl=it&newbks=1&newbks_redir=1&sa=X&ved=2ahUKEwid6rqVoq2EAxXOSvEDHeIGBW4QuwV6BAgJEAk$zhttps://books.google.com/books?id=YPh6DwAAQBAJ&printsec=frontcover&dq=*Quantitative+methods+for+the+social+sciences+:+a+practical+introduction+with+examples+in+SPSS+and+stata+/&hl=it&newbks=1&newbks_redir=1&sa=X&ved=2ahUKEwid6rqVoq2EAxXOSvEDHeIGBW4QuwV6BAgJEAk 899 $aBIBLIOTECA DEL DIPARTIMENTO DI ECONOMIA$1IT-CE0106$2VAN03 912 $aVAN0269751 950 $aBIBLIOTECA DEL DIPARTIMENTO DI ECONOMIA$d03PREST VCc43 $e03BDE3063 20240117 996 $aQuantitative methods for the social sciences$91770674 997 $aUNICAMPANIA
