Sociology

This combination text/workbook teaches beginning sociology students how they can use statistical measures and archival data to test hypotheses about the social world.

• Promotes a hands-on, active approach to learning that encourages students to do real data analysis in the first sociology courses.
• Students are given step-by-step instructions that guide them through each activity.
• Activities are followed by a set of self-test questions, to help students test their understanding of the data.
• Exercises are written to use the General Social Survey, U.S. Census, National Election Surveys, and other professional quality data sets.
• Chapter 1 provides an overview of basic terms and techniques, such as hypothesis testing, survey research, sampling, descriptive statistics and tests of statistical significance, and chi-square.
• Topics covered include family lifestyles and change, political values and behavior, religious affiliation, crime, drug use, gambling, aging, urbanization/suburbanization.

• Unlike previous editions, no statistical software required; uses a popular Web-based statistical software program (located on the Survey Documentation & Analysis site, University of California-Berkeley), and archival data sets available on the SDA website and other public sites.
• Frequent screen captures from the SDA website and an improved design make it easier for students to connect the text to what they see on their computer screen.
