Principles of Sociology
What is sociology? - correct answer ✔


Commonsense beliefs vs sociological knowledge - correct answer ✔


Sociological imagination & two examples - correct answer ✔


Social institution - correct answer ✔Social institutions are established or
standardized patterns of rule-governed behavior. They include the family,
education, religion, and economic and political institutions


Social structure - correct answer ✔the distinctive, stable arrangement of
institutions whereby human beings in a society interact and live together.
Social structure is often treated together with the concept of social change,
which deals with the forces that change the social structure and the
organization of society


Structure/Action dichotomy - correct answer ✔


Random sample - correct answer ✔a selection from a larger population that
is statistically representative of the population as a whole


Why is a random sample beneficial - correct answer ✔In a random sample,
every member of an entire population being studied has an equal chance of
being selected; therefore, it is statistically the same as studying the population
as a whole.


Scientific Method - correct answer ✔1. Define the problem

, 2. Review the literature
3. Formulate a hypothesis
4. Select a research design (survey, observation, experimental, archival)
5. Develop a conclusion


What are four types of research design - correct answer ✔survey
observation
experiment
archival


What does it mean to operationalize a variable? Why is this important? -
correct answer ✔an explanation of an abstract concept that is specific
enough to allow the researcher to assess the concept and nothing else. This
is important to ensure consistency


Why aren't true experiments used often? - correct answer ✔Ethical problems
are associated with experimenting on humans.


Independent variable - correct answer ✔The variable hypothesized to cause
or influence another is called the independent variable


Dependent variable - correct answer ✔The second variable is termed the
dependent variable because its action or measure is thought to depend on the
influence of the independent variable


Explain the Tuskegee Syphilis Experiment - correct answer ✔This is an
experiment in which African American men were told that they were receiving
treated for syphilis, but their degeneration was being studied. The fact that
scientists knowingly told the patients they were being treated while
withholding the treatment remains a huge ethical problem.
