Loreen Wolfer

- Explaining the systematic steps used by social scientists to examine the social world
- Following the stages of the research process, but emphasizing that research does not always involve an orderly set of steps
- Presenting a model of "ideal" research, but also explaining how to recognize the limitations (like time and money) that affect the way real research is implemented
- Including a subscription to Pearson’s Research Navigator service with every text, which allows access to full-text articles from leading social science journals
- Using many examples and exercises on evaluating research, which can be found in the journal articles available online through Pearson's Research Navigator service
