Research methods and Statistics in Sociology

Society is an organized group of persons associated together with shared objective, norms and values pertaining to the society. People have social life and social process. Research is systematic and organized effort to investigate a specific problem that needs a solution. It contributes to the general body of knowledge. It also corrects human knowledge. Social research now can be defined as the systematic and objective analysis and recording of controlled observations that may lead to the development of generalization, principles or theories resulting in prediction and possibly ultimate control of events in society. It attempts to answer or solve social problems. Sociologists use many different designs and methods to study society and social behaviour. Most sociological research involves ethnography, or "field work" designed to depict the characteristics of a population as fully as possible. This book shows students the steps involved in the research process, the various strategies for conducting a valid social inquiry, and most importantly, the persuasiveness and elegance of reliable social research.
