Building on the premise that statistical methods need to be learned in a practical fashion, the book guides students through the various steps of the survey research process and helps to apply those steps toward a real example. In detail, the textbook introduces students to the four pillars of survey research and quantitative analysis: (1) the importance of survey research, (2) preparing a survey, (3) conducting a survey and (4) analyzing a survey. Students are shown how to create their own questionnaire based on some theoretically derived hypotheses to achieve empirical findings for a solid dataset. Lastly, they use said data to test their hypotheses in a bivariate and multivariate realm. The book explains the theory, rationale and mathematical foundations of these tests. In addition, it provides clear instructions on how to conduct the tests in SPSS and Stata. Given the breadth of its coverage, the textbook is suitable for introductory statistics, survey research or quantitative methods classes in the social sciences. 0aSocial sciences. 0aStatistics.14aMethodology of the Social Sciences.24aStatistics and Computing/Statistics Programs.24aStatistics for Social Sciences, Humanities, Law.08iPrint version:tQuantitative methods for the social sciences : a practical introduction with examples in SPSS and stataz9783319991177w(DLC)  201895770208iPrinted edition:z978331999117708iPrinted edition:z9783319991191
