Authors:
- Infused with multidisciplinary examples, humor, and a healthy dose of irreverence, Writing up Quantitative Research in the Social and Behavioral Sciences helps emerging researchers successfully navigate the intellectual and emotional challenges of writing quantitative research reports.
- Emerging researchers learn to construct their report incrementally through a structured, question-based approach designed to be flexibly applied across the social and behavioral sciences.
- The question-based approach is illustrated in sample student-generated research reports that exemplify three major approaches to quantitative research (primary data collection, secondary data analysis, and content analysis) across three disciplinary styles (American Psychological Association, American Sociological Association, American Political Science Association)."
