Making Sense of Statistical Methods in Social Research is a critical
introduction to the use of statistical methods in social research. It provides
a unique approach to statistics that concentrates on helping social
researchers think about the conceptual basis for the statistical methods
they're using.
Whereas other statistical methods books instruct students in how to get
through the statistics-based elements of their chosen course with as little
mathematical knowledge as possible, this book aims to improve students'
statistical literacy, with the ultimate goal of turning them into competent
researchers.
Making Sense of Statistical Methods in Social Research contains careful
discussion of the conceptual foundation of statistical methods, specifying
what questions they can, or cannot, answer. The logic of each statistical
method or procedure is explained, drawing on the historical development of the
method, existing publications that apply the method, and methodological
discussions. Statistical techniques and procedures are presented not for the
purpose of showing how to produce statistics with certain software packages,
but as a way of illuminating the underlying logic behind the symbols.
The limited statistical knowledge that students gain from straight forward
'how-to' books makes it very hard for students to move beyond introductory
statistics courses to postgraduate study and research. This book should help
to bridge this gap.
