Research Design in the Social Sciences

Více o knize

The book presents the MIDA framework—Model, Inquiry, Data Strategy, and Answer Strategy—designed to evaluate and describe empirical research designs in the social sciences. It aids researchers in characterizing observational and experimental designs, assessing properties like bias and precision, and improving aspects such as sampling and measurement. With a comprehensive library of common designs and guidance on their strengths and weaknesses, it serves as a vital resource for both planning and executing research projects, supported by online materials for enhanced learning.
