A core statistics text that emphasizes logical inquiry, not mathBasic Statistics for Social Research teaches core general statistical concepts and methods that all social science majors must master to understand (and do) social research. Its use of mathematics and theory are deliberately limited, as the authors focus on the use of concepts and tools of statistics in the analysis of social science data, rather than on the mathematical and computational aspects. Research questions and applications are taken from a wide variety of subfields in sociology, and each chapter is organized around one or more general ideas that are explained at its beginning and then applied in increasing detail in the body of the text.Each chapter contains instructive features to aid students in understanding and mastering the various statistical approaches presented in the book, including: Learning objectivesCheck quizzes after many sections and an answer key at the end of the chapterSummaryKey termsEnd-of-chapter exercisesSPSS exercises (in select chapters)Ancillary materials for both the student and the instructor are available and include a test bank for instructors and downloadable video tutorials for students.

The Impact of Immigration on the United States Economy closely examines the effects of immigration on the United States economy from 1940-1980. Using multiple linear regression, Kposowa found that overall, immigration has had positive effects on the US economy, especially in terms of increasing native earnings and native socioeconomic attainment. However, he also found that immigration has negative effects on minority earnings, particularly those of African Americans. Contrary to popular belief, Kposowa reveals how immigrants as a population are significantly less likely than native born people to be on public assistance or social security. This fascinating study debunks many myths surrounding immigration and concludes by offering practical public policy recommendations.
