About this title

Synopsis

Two social psychologists outline a rigorous and rational approach to social experiments -- programmes designed to test new solutions to social problems. The basic principles of experimental design as applied to the problems of social experiments and the practicalities of measurement, collaboration and choosing the mode of research that is most applicable are discussed -- as is the problem of utilizing the results of social experimentation.
