An Overview of Research Methods · Quantitative research uses data that can easily be converted into numbers, such as a survey or an experiment. Qualitative research involves data that cannot easily be converted to numbers, such as observation or informal interviews. · Most sociological research uses the scientific method, which is the standard for acquiring and verifying empirical (scientific) knowledge. After conducting a literature review, a researcher forms a hypothesis (study time affects exam grade) stating a potential relationship between two or more variables (study time, exam grade). These variables must be clearly defined so that they can be measured. Finally, data is collected and the hypothesis can be tested. Ethnographic Methods · One way to collect to data is through ethnography, a naturalistic method based on studying people in their own environment in order to understand the meanings they attribute to their activities. Ethnography is often a two-part activity: active participation in and observation of a naturally occurring setting, and a written account (field notes) of what goes on there. In participant observation the researcher both observes and becomes a member in a social setting. Interviews · Interviews involve direct, face-to-face contact with respondents, and often can generate large amounts of qualitative data. The researcher identifies the target population that she wishes to study, and then selects a sample of people to be interviewed from that population. · A closed-ended question imposes a limit on the possible responses: for example, “Are you for or against couples living together before they are married?” An open-ended question allows the answer to take whatever from the respondent chooses: “What do you think about couples living together before they are married?” Surveys · Surveys are questionnaires that are administered to a sample of respondents selected from a target population. Survey research tends to look at large-scale social patterns and employs statistics and other mathematical means of analysis. Experimental Methods · Experiments are formal tests of specific variables and effects that are performed in a controlled setting where all aspects of the situation can be controlled. Many experiments involve using an experimental group, which is the part of the test group that receives the experimental treatment, and a control group, which is the part of the test group that is allowed to continue without intervention so that it can be compared with the experimental group. A researcher will investigate whether an independent variable causes changes in the dependent variable. Existing Sources · Existing Sources refer to any data that has already been collected by earlier researchers and is available for future research. This can include sources such as census data, newspapers, photography, and cultural artifacts. Using existing data is usually less involved than collecting original data and also gives researchers access to distant places and times. Issues in Sociological Research · The research methods described in this chapter are often applied outside the field of sociology. Some examples include the US Census, political campaign offices, business, and market research. · Most sociologists believe that they should not allow their personal beliefs to influence their research. Max Weber wrote the classic sociological statement on this issue. He coined the phrase value-free sociology, an ideal whereby researchers identify facts without allowing their own personal beliefs or biases to interfere. · The American Sociological Association has developed its own set of code of ethics to assist researchers avoid bias, adhere to professional standards, and protect respondents from harm. Most universities where research is conducted also have an institutional review board, a group of scholars within a university who meet regularly to review and approve the research proposals of their colleagues and make recommendations for how to protect human subjects. |

That's me, and I really need to re-upload those tracks. I'll get on that today, hopefully. _________________ INTELLECT AND ROMANCE OVER BRUTE FORCE AND CYNICISM Smokemonster |
