Synopsis

Combining statistics and survey research methods in one volume, this short, practical book prepares students to conduct their own survey research and write up the results, as well as read and interpret other people's research. The text shows how to write a questionnaire, generate a sample, analyze data, and write up the results. Students get to apply what they learn by reading and interpreting excerpts from published research. The book also teaches how to interpret statistics and make decisions about which statistics to use, without requiring any calculations.
