| Résumé: | Only a small percentage of the people in the social sciences and related professions will ever actually conduct research studies. However, it is important that they be able to critically read, understand, and evaluate the research papers published in their fields. This book addresses this need with a thorough introduction to social science research from the consumer's point of view. Omitting many technical terms, most of the fine distinctions, and all of the formulas that are important mainly to researchers, the book focuses on the broad concerns common to all types of social science research - experimental, survey, case study, and so on.--from back cover |
