They exist in all studies and can affect the measurement of study variables and the relationships among these variables. Because of this, they are of primary concern in quantitative studies because they can interfere with obtaining a clear understanding of the relational or causal dynamics within these studies (Burns & Grove, 2011). Another way to think of it is they are variables that could possibly
A higher response rate can be obtained if follow-up questionnaires are sent, but this can add to the cost and time. However, some sociologists may choose to use questionnaires as there is no need to recruit and train interviewees thus saving costs. Another reason as to why some sociologists choose not to use questionnaires when conducting research is because of the fact that questionnaires are snapshots of social reality of the time when the respondents answer the questionnaires. This means that they fail to produce valid pictures as they do not capture how people’s attitudes can change over time. On the other hand, questionnaires tend to be used by sociologists as they provide less ethical issues than other research methods.
Introducing an ally who resisted the majority caused conformity levels to drop sharply (5%). The presence of an ally makes an individual feel more confident and better able to stand up to the majority. Asch also discovered that people are better able to resist pressure to conform if the decision has a moral dimension. For Asch’s participants, the costs of conforming were not particularly great given the insignificance of the task. However if the behaviour is judged as immoral such as joining others in cheating there is less evidence of conformity as the costs are perceived as greater.

The validity of the data also increases through the flexibility of informal interviewing, leads can be followed up and the respondent can take the interview in the direction they want. Structured interviews are a good way of doing social research. They have a high responde rate compared to postal questionnaire. The problem with them is that they are prone to bias. They also consume a lot of time and are expensive.
However, Hitler was not happy with this as his spending on the military was being limited, which meant only a certain number of tanks/planes were being produced. Schachts plan lasted 4 years before a new plan was introduced, Goring’s 4 year plan. This plan revolved around the military and the purchase of materials suitable for the military. This created a very bad balance of trade. Germany now needed more money which resulted in more debts which were piling up from outstanding reparation payments.
For example they do not try and put more effort into helping schools who are not as wealthy as some of the other ones. Instead with the powerful in control, they only give the wealthy more power. By doing so, they then give the poor a false consciousness. Therefore the conflict theory is demonstrating how this separation of power is bad and is allowing the poor to think as if they have no option but to keep being poor, and this is not the case. There should be more support on the less wealthy education in order to diminish the gap between the education systems and allow the poor to have better life
Licensing is supposed to create a boundary in separating people who know how to do the job from people who do not. Young (2002) argues that occupational licensing has many flaws. He stated that it raises prices and does not prove concretely that having a license insures better quality or safety. Also, the requirements usually do not insure “good practice.” The law places more attention to non-licensed practitioners than licensed practitioners who malpractice. Occupational Licensing requires schooling, courses, training, and other obstacles in order for people to practice their specialty.
Some people just do not desire to get a higher education, even if they don’t have to pay for it. There is a chance that not all will be eligible for bonuses due to lower scores on the ASVAB or other issues such as prior police involvement. The impression that recruiters spend more time in the lower class areas is due to the fact that more students in these areas join the service, recruiters must spend more time with them to enable them to take advantage of what the military has to offer. There is a great deal of paperwork that is required to enlist,
However, deductive research often has a lot of data collected and it is called quantitative data. An inductive research has smaller amounts of data and that is referred to as qualitative data. Quantitative data is more likely to be pursued than qualitative data. Keep in mind an anthropologist is usually studying that culture for a reason and has a hypothesis to test. Usually they have been funded by a company who wants that hypothesis tested.
