Description: This is an introductory text on social research, useful for a student or a practitioner who has had limited background training, or no training, in methodology. It differs from other existing texts in that equal treatment has been given to three topics which are usually either treated separately or given different amounts of attention: theory construction, the use of statistics, and the procedures of social research (generally known as "research methods").
