I wrote this text to help you learn about how social
scientists do research and so you can conduct your
own studies. I consider two main issues in this chapter: why you should learn about doing social research and the basics of what social science research
is all about.
Social science research is pervasive, and it affects your daily life as well as that of your family,
friends, neighbors, and co-workers. Findings from
social science studies appear on broadcast news programs, in magazines and newspapers, and on many
Web sites and blogs. They cover dozens of topics
and fields: law and public safety, schooling, health
care, personal and family relations, political issues,
and business activities as well as international and
social trends. We use the knowledge and principles
of social science research, directly or indirectly, as
we engage in relationships with family, friends, and
co-workers, participate in community life or public
policy, and make daily decisions in business, professional life, and health care. Social research is not
just for college classrooms and professors; high
school teachers, parents, business owners, advertisers, managers, administrators, officials, service
providers, health care professionals, and others use
its findings and principles. They use them to raise
children, reduce crime, manage health concerns,
sell products or services, digest news events, and so
forth. There is little doubt about the importance and
centrality of social science research. Despite scattered criticism to the contrary, research is highly relevant for understanding social life generally and to
the decisions you make each day
