Preparation for Writing a Proposal 330 $aLaboratory Experiments in the Social Sciences is the only book providing core information for researchers about the ways and means to conduct experiments. Its comprehensive regard for laboratory experiments encompasses "how-to? explanations, investigations of philosophies and ethics, explorations of experiments in specific social science disciplines, and summaries of both the history and future of social science laboratories. No other book offers such a direct avenue to enlarging our knowledge in the social sciences.This collection of original chapters combines instructions and 606 $aSocial sciences$xExperiments 606 $aExperimental design 615 0$aSocial sciences$xExperiments. 615 0$aExperimental design. 676 $a300.72/4 701 $aWebster$b Murray$f1941-$01605971 701 $aSell$b Jane$01605972 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910820439403321 996 $aLaboratory experiments in the social sciences$93931501 997 $aUNINA
