Does anyone have experience with the following programs?

UCLA's Social Research Methodology

Berkeley's Social Research Methodology

University of Denver's Research Methods and Statistics

or any similar PhD programs? Bonus points if they have some emphasis on quantitative methods

I'd love to hear about your experiences! TIA

Hey, as a part of my research, I am running a survey and I'd need just a couple more responses... i'd be very grateful if you could help. The survey is very short and it takes around 2 minutes. Thanks!

Hi everyone,

I am a social scientist (conservation psychology) from Australia, and I am looking for participants across the world for some new research I am doing.

Are you the parent/caregiver of a child aged 2-12 years? If so, we kindly invite you to participate in our short online survey about sharks. We are interested in what children know about sharks, so this survey involves you completing a couple of questions about sharks, and then asking your children some questions about sharks. You will then be asked to write what your children say or what they do (e.g. if they use hand gestures).

Please also feel free to send to any one you know who might be interested.

The survey takes approximately ten minutes per child to complete, if you have more than one child aged between 2-12 they can all participate.

This study has received ethics approval from the University of South Australia (#206267). If you have any queries, please contact the lead researcher: Brianna.lebusque@unisa.edu.au

Hey,

I have quite a niche obsession with data science and socio-economic class analysis etc.

I already have an educational background in Data engineering but i'd love to learn more about Statistics and Data Analysis in the context of social science and political economy.

Is there any learning resource you would recommend for achieving such a goal?

I'm taking a class of investigation in social sciences and my professor asked us to search for a manual ourselves to use, both qualitative and quantitative. I know it sounds vague but this is genuinely all the info they gave us, and I was wondering if any good recommendations were known?

I'm a 1st year PhD student investigating the behavioural and neurocognitive correlates of hyperfocus in subclinical populations. My first study is investigating the prevalence of hyperfocus in the general population.

If you could spare some time, please complete this study. I will ask you about your attention control, behaviour, and general cognitive ability through a mixture of questionnaires (7 in total) and cognitive tasks (3 two-minute tasks). All data is anonymous!

To participate, you must be:

• Aged 18 years or above
• Without a known neurocognitive (e.g. Alzheimer's) or motor condition.

The full study will take about 15-20 minutes and can be done on a phone or computer.

Appreciate it, thank you :)

I have 6 video scripts that explain the same concept a few different ways. I'm looking to find people with high school education or lower to go to a website, get one assigned, read it and then fill in a few questions about it. How would I go about finding participants? I have some money but not a lot, this is a personal project. Thanks in advance for any advice.

what are some of the most prolific violations of ethics in social science research studies of the past 10 years?

I'm writing something set in 1835 London, and I'd like to know of anyone (in any country) who argued that crime is a product of social factors. Dickens' novels come to mind, but who else? Particularly any philosophers or campaigners?

Thanks!

Anybody able to recommend any good texts on street level beurocracy? I have Lipsky who used this term of course. But I'm hoping to find some recommendations for more recent works, studies, follow up theories, critique, theories that draw from this theory.

I'm a Jr in high school and have found interest in the field of sociology. I want to do something in that field that will also pay well. I like journalism and I read that you can become that with a sociology degree, but it doesn't pay much. I also want to become a sociologist, but I live in Florida, and not a lot of great colleges I know are good at teaching sociology. I have the money to pay for a master's already, but don't see many options that please me.

So my questions are should I do it, what should I get the PhD in if there is a better degree, and what are the best Florida nonprivate colleges?

Hi, I’m looking for books and other sources which specialise in the sociology of ancient societies, specifically classical if possible. Also, books/sources/authors which adopt a sociological argument to questions on the subject of ancient history. This is massively important to me at the moment and would greatly appreciate any suggestions.

Thanks.

We are conducting a research study about the experiences and perceptions of intoxication and crime in Australia. The aim is to better understand how these experiences and societal perceptions influence interactions with the justice system, and to use this knowledge to inform policy and practice.

We are seeking adults (18 years and older) who are fluent in English and residing in Australia.

Taking part in this study will involve completing an online survey, which should take around 20-30 minutes. The survey will ask about your experiences and perceptions related to the topics of intoxication and crime. All responses will be anonymous and used solely for the purposes of this study.

Please contact Dr Lauren Monds, lauren.monds@sydney.edu.au if you have any questions or would like further information about this study.

Please?

Hi there! Don't know if it is the right place to ask, but I try.

I'm looking for social sciences dissemination books - but not the classics. I was wandering if there any any popular sciences books close to the ones from the "hard sciences", books which explain physics, math, chemistry and other disciplines but with funny and accessible writing style (ever heard of Robert Wolke's books, or like the "physics for dummies" or, again, Bill Bryson's books?).

Please note that I know "Social Science" comprehend a wide range of disciplines, but to now I ain't be able to find anything truly well made and funny at the same time from any field - from anthropology to urban sociology.

Thanks!

I am a secondary school student doing a project in Social and Behavioural sciences, and I'd like to collect my data and statistics from my surveys in the most optimal and professional way I can. What platforms are used within the academic psychology/social science world and are the best for me to use (very preferably for free) for my project?

I have a few hypotheses:

• SHOWING THEIR TRUE COLORS: Do you think the internet allows individuals to express their true thoughts more freely and securely?
• INTERNET CROWD EFFECT: Or does the nature of the internet itself encourage such behavior?
• OUTLET FOR REAL-LIFE FRUSTRATIONS: Could it be that some individuals use the online space as an outlet for their real-life frustrations and anger, and they may not necessarily be as toxic in person and don’t really mean what they say?

what do you think ?

For evaluation of projects in participatory arts, I'm looking for information on Participant Observation. The research question pertains to how participatory arts can contribute to problems in society (such as loneliness) in a particular neighborhood or municipality. The research is conducted by a mix of qualitative and quantitative methods, of which one is observational research. Since this particular method is quite new to me, I'm looking for good titles, methodologies and frameworks to dive into participant observation. Thanks!
