While heated arguments between practitioners of qualitative and quantitative research have begun to test the very integrity of the social sciences, Gary King, Robert Keohane, and Sidney Verba have produced a farsighted and timely book that promises to sharpen and strengthen a wide range of research performed in this field. These leading scholars, each representing diverse academic traditions, have developed a unified approach to valid descriptive and causal inference in qualitative research, where numerical measurement is either impossible or undesirable. Their book demonstrates that the same logic of inference underlies both good quantitative and good qualitative research designs, and their approach applies equally to each. Providing precepts intended to stimulate and discipline thought, the authors explore issues related to framing research questions, measuring the accuracy of data and uncertainty of empirical inferences, discovering causal effects, and generally improving qualitative research. Among the specific topics they address are interpretation and inference, comparative case studies, constructing causal theories, dependent and explanatory variables, the limits of random selection, selection bias, and errors in measurement. Mathematical notation is occasionally used to clarify concepts, but no prior knowledge of mathematics or statistics is assumed. The unified logic of inference that this book explicates will be enormously useful to qualitative researchers of all traditions and substantive fields.

加裏·金是哈佛大學頂尖的方法論專傢,是專門研究社會科學方法論的學者,他接替的是薩繆爾·亨廷頓(著名政治學傢)的講座教授位置。因此,他的實力和能力是相當深厚的。無論是定量、定性還是案例、調查統計等方法,他都是不遺餘力地在研究和深入鑽研。 本書就是他深入專研的一...
評分這本書討論的主題是政治學的研究方法,政治學的研究有一些特徵,是其它社會學科不具備的。比如說樣本量少,重要的政治事件可能影響極其深遠,但是隻發生瞭一次,因此用定量方法可能沒法研究;由於其地位,又必須對該事件展開研究。然而這些政治學的問題其實在大多數社會科學的...
評分中譯本到手後翻閱瞭一下,讀起來頗為生澀,與讀原著時差彆較大。把原著找齣來校對瞭幾頁,發現問題挺多。 僅以第一章第一節為例(1.1.1, p1-p5) p1 這兩種研究方式的差異是顯而易見的 原文:The two traditions appear quite different... 這個不能說完全譯錯,但是沒有把appe...

值得讀,因果推斷的根本難題尤其需要瞭解。但無論從對定性研究的瞭解、對因果推斷的看法、建議都值得商榷。作者苦口婆心,無非是要把定性研究變成定量研究2.0
評分The most stupid, but famous scholarly book I have ever read. The three authors provide foolish "rules" for us.

評分Keohane居然也有參與撰寫。看上去像是社會學方法論的葵花寶典呀,十分感謝前輩推薦的說。
