"This book is designed as an introduction to statistics for social scientists. It is comprehensive enough to give insight into the logic involved in statistical manipulation, yet simple enough to be understood by anyone who has taken an elementary algebra course. In order to facilitate the use of statistical technique in the analysis of social science data, most of the topics begin with a social science problem, and new concepts and techniques are introduced in solving the problem. Unless the source is specified, the data are hypothetical. Problems from recent quantitative research findings in sociology and peripheral fields are included in the exercises. Examples are selected where statistical techniques are used in a theoretical framework"--Preface. (PsycINFO Database Record (c) 2012 APA, all rights reserved).

"Social science is the science of human interaction. In recent years, behavioral studies, which attempt to interpret human relations in empirically specifiable, if not quantitative terms, have been fruitful, especially in defining concepts such as influence and power. Felix Oppenheim in this book extends the behavioral analysis of power to the key concept of freedom. He uncovers in the process significant connections among influence, control, power, "un-freedom," freedom, dependence, and independence. Like power, freedom is a matter of degree, and Mr. Oppenheim analyzes it in its several dimensions. He distinguishes freedom in the social sense from other empirical meanings, such as freedom of choice, "free will," free actions, and self-determination, as well as from valuational usages of the word, such as "freedom from want" and "government by consent." Indeed, those who proclaim "freedom" as a supreme political goal are often mistaken about their own valuations, or exploit to their own advantage ambiguous notions of freedom held by others. Mr. Oppenheim employs familiar political doctrines to illustrate the confusion stemming from failure to make these distinctions. In his conclusion, which is an inquiry into the meaning of valuing freedom, Mr. Oppenheim carefully avoids propounding value judgments. Though this is an analytic study, Mr. Oppenheim has written it in lucid, non-technical language. It should appeal to readers in many fields--philosophy, political science, sociology, psychology, economics, and law"--Jacket. (PsycINFO Database Record (c) 2013 APA, all rights reserved).
