    Book description

    Experiments have gained prominence in sociology in recent years. Increased interest in testing causal theories through experimental designs has ignited a debate about which experimental designs can facilitate scientific progress in sociology. This book discusses the implications of research interests for the design of experiments, identifies points of commonality and disagreement among the different perspectives within sociology, and elaborates on the rationales of each. It helps experimental sociologists find appropriate designs for answering specific research questions while alerting them to the challenges. Offering more than just a guide, this book explores both the historical roots of experimental sociology and the cutting-edge techniques of rigorous sociology. It concludes with a tantalizing peek into the future and provides a roadmap to the exciting prospects and uncharted territories of experimental sociology.

    Reviews

    ‘As enthusiastic practitioners and unabashed cheerleaders for the growth of experimental design in contemporary social science research, the authors of this volume shepherd readers through the history of this methodological approach and its implementation - specifically in sociology - beginning in the 1930s.… The result is a well-reasoned, earnest invitation to graduate students, junior faculty, mid-career professors, and research practitioners to join the party and consider adding this device to their methodological ‘tool belts,’ alongside such proven research methods as surveys, interviews, and participant observation.… Recommended.’
