Social Science Experiments A Hands-on Introduction

Social Science Experiments: A Hands-on Introduction is an accessible textbook for undergraduates. Why a hands-on approach that urges readers to roll up their sleeves and conduct their own experiments? When students design their own experiments, they must reflect on basic questions. What is the treatment … and control? Who are the participants? What is the outcome? The process of conducting an experiment builds other important skills: Creating a dataset, inspecting the results, and drawing inferences. Learning is easier when the motivation to acquire specific skills emerges organically through hands-on experience.
