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. . 606 $aSociology$xMethodology 606 $aSocial sciences$xStatistical methods 606 $aMathematical statistics$xData processing 606 $aSociological Methods 606 $aStatistics in Social Sciences, Humanities, Law, Education, Behavorial Sciences, Public Policy 606 $aStatistics and Computing 606 $aMetodologia de les ciències socials$2thub 606 $aInvestigació quantitativa$2thub 608 $aLlibres electrònics$2thub 615 0$aSociology$xMethodology. 615 0$aSocial sciences$xStatistical methods. 615 0$aMathematical statistics$xData processing. 615 14$aSociological Methods. 615 24$aStatistics in Social Sciences, Humanities, Law, Education, Behavorial Sciences, Public Policy. 615 24$aStatistics and Computing. 615 7$aMetodologia de les ciències socials 615 7$aInvestigació quantitativa 676 $a300.72 700 $aStockemer$b Daniel$4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut$0791919 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910337712703321 996 $aQuantitative methods for the social sciences$91770674 997 $aUNINA
