Caracteristici
Covers the major topics in introductory sociology, as well as many that are part of the standard social problems course.
The software and data files for Doing Sociology with Student CHIP are now Web-based. This frees the workbook from the varieties and vagaries of operating systems, and allows a return to both PC and Mac platforms.
Data sets are taken from the General Social Survey, other national probability surveys, census and vital statistics reports, FBI crime summaries, and United Nations sources.
No statistics beyond simple percentages are used; the emphasis is on analysis, reasoning, and recognizing patterns, not high-level statistical analysis techniques.
Sets of computer exercises build from "Basic" to "Advanced" to "Exploratory" and are appropriate for all students. The Advanced and Exploratory excericses lay the foundation for advanced study in sociology and the other social sciences.
Introductory chapters contain instruction on critical reading and elementary data analysis. Students are also introduced to causal analysis and its essential features when using nonexperimental data, including how to uncover spurious relationships, interaction effects, and multivariable models.
Follows the same order of topics as Carter's Empirical Approaches to Sociology: Classic and Contemporary Readings, Fifth Edition, (0-205-62809-5), making it an ideal companion text.

Caracteristici noi
- New exercises and data sets on a wider range of contemporary social problems, including HIV/AIDS, anomie, crime, divorce, physical health, psychological health, poverty, childhood socialization, minority education, literacy, life expectancy, immigration, race and ethnic relations, religiosity impacts, separatist movements, social capital and social trust, and the status of women–with multiple U.S. and crossnational examples developed.
- Data sets have been updated with the most recent and best data available, including the use of the 2006 General Social Survey, 2000—2008 U.S. census data, the 2005 NCCJ TAP-III survey on race and ethnic relations, and the 2007/2008 Human Development Reports of the United Nations. Data sets and the Student CHIP software are now Web-based, freeing them from the problems associated with so many different operating systems and microcomputing platforms.
- To give students increased leeway in doing exploratory analyses, the CHIP data sets from the four previous editions of the workbook have been included in the subdirectory (folder) labeled History. Instructors wanting to assign individual work now have more options in assuring that individual projects are just that.
- A special note to instructors: if an instructor does not find the data set that he or she is looking for in the new edition, the author will custom prepare it.
