Its use of mathematics and theory are deliberately limited, as the authors focus on the use of concepts and tools of statistics in the analysis of social science data, rather than on the mathematical and computational aspects. Research questions and applications are taken from a wide variety of subfields in sociology, and each chapter is organized around one or more general ideas that are explained at its beginning and then applied in increasing detail in the body of the text.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eEach chapter contains instructive features to aid students in understanding and mastering the various statistical approaches presented in the book, including:\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cul\u003e \u003cli\u003eLearning objectives\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eCheck quizzes after many sections and an answer key at the end of the chapter\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eSummary\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eKey terms\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eEnd-of-chapter exercises\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eSPSS exercises (in select chapters)\u003c\/li\u003e \u003c\/ul\u003e \u003cp\u003eAncillary materials for both the student and the instructor are available and include a test bank for instructors and downloadable video tutorials for students.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e  \u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eROBERT A.
