Modern Methods in Empirical Social Science Research

Résumé
This handbook provides a practice-oriented overview of advanced empirical research methods in the social sciences. The volume is structured along a continuum from unstructured to structured data. Following an introduction to cognitive biases and confounding factors, it comprehensively covers interpretative text analysis (IPA, RTA, SCA), bridging and text-mining techniques (QCA, ENA, NLP), and advanced modeling approaches (CFA, PA, CB-SEM, PLS-SEM, Nested ANOVA, LMM). Finally, it examines generalizability and predictive power through significance testing, bootstrapping, and cross-validation. The book provides theoretical foundations, software-independent guidelines, and quality standards for researchers and doctoral students.
