SOCIAL SCIENCE INQUIRY It involves certain key methods It adheres to several key values It adheres to specific standards

METHODOLOGIES Naturalistic Observations Case Studies Surveys Correlational Studies Experimentation

BASIC RESEARCH STEPS Form the hypothesis ask an answerable question limit the investigation Isolate the variables independent variable dependent variable Control for other variables construct a viable sample eliminate unwanted influences by keeping everything else constant Measure the effects methods of quantifying what you see tests of significance
