PURPOSE AND PERSPECTIVE OF THE CHAPTER
The purpose of this chapter is to introduce students to the role of statistics in the
research process. The discussion is guided by the “Wheel of Science” as
conceptualized by Walter Wallace. The text always presents statistics in the context
of the research enterprise. That is, statistics are presented as useful tools for
answering sociological questions and testing social science theories, never as ends in
themselves.
The chapter also distinguishes between descriptive and inferential statistics and
univariate, bivariate, and multivariate statistics. The distinction between discrete and
continuous variables and the concept of level of measurement is presented in this
chapter and the latter is stressed throughout the text as an organizational device and
as a major criterion for selecting statistics appropriately. Exercises are provided at
the end of the chapter for reviewing the characteristics of the three levels of
measurement used in this text.
