This workbook with easy-to-use statistical software gets students involved in the analysis of sociological data as early as their first-year courses.

The computer exercises in this workbook bring sociology alive by enabling students to explore sociological issues using real data. Ideal for classes with an empirical orientation, Doing Sociology With Student CHIP shows students the link between their course work and the work of research sociologists.

  • Covers the major topics in an introductory sociology or social problems course.
  • Student CHIP software and all required data sets included with every text on a cross-platform (MAC and Windows) CD-ROM.
  • Data sets are taken from the General Social Survey, census and vital statistics reports, and FBI crime summaries.
  • No statistics beyond simple percentages are used; the emphasis is on analysis, reasoning, and recognizing patterns, not high-level statistical analysis techniques.
  • Sets of computer exercises build from "Basic" to "Advanced" to "Exploratory" exercises and are appropriate for all students.
  • Introductory chapters contain instruction on critical reading and elementary data analysis.
  • Follows the same order of topics as Carter's Empirical Approaches to Sociology: Classic and Contemporary Readings, Fourth Edition, (0-205-39484-1), making it an ideal companion text.

  • Expanded table of contents and increased emphasis on social issues make it easier to use the text in both introductory sociology and social problems courses.
  • Fourteen exercises are new to this edition.
  • Table of contents now connects each activity to corresponding chapters in introductory and social problems texts.
  • Several new activities use cross-national studies of internal war and violence, AIDS, and the impact of inequality on societies
  • Other new activities look at family life and adolescent academic success, eating disorders, sex differences in income, U.S. Immigration, and social interaction on the Internet.

* New to this edition. Each chapter concludes with “Exploratory Exercises.”

    Brief Description

Author Gregg Lee Carter has pioneered the use of hands-on computer data analysis by beginning sociology students. He is the recipient of an Outstanding Contributions to Instruction Award from the American Sociological Association, for developing innovative computer applications that enhance undergraduate sociology instruction.

Doing Sociology brings sociology alive by enabling students to explore sociological issues using real data from the General Social Survey, census and vital statistics reports, and FBI crime summaries. Ideal for classes with an empirical orientation, Doing Sociology With Student CHIP shows students the link between their course work and the work of research sociologists.

The book covers the major topics in an introductory sociology or social problems course, and includes Student CHIP software and all required data sets on a cross-platform (MAC and Windows) CD-ROM. No statistics beyond simple percentages are used; the emphasis is on analysis, reasoning, and recognizing patterns, not high-level statistical analysis techniques.

Doing Sociology follows the same order of topics as Carter's Empirical Approaches to Sociology: Classic and Contemporary Readings, Fourth Edition (0-205-39484-1), making it an ideal companion text.
