Document Summary
In the final stage of the research cycle, when you are presenting your results, you are subjecting them to peer- review. These individuals are analyzing the findings on the basis of the value of your contribution. The terminology used is interchangeable with other disciplines; the only difference is the methods used in sociology. Some of the important key terms that are applicable to the sociological field are: analyze, collect. Data (1) variable: a concept that can take on more than one value: e. g. gender (male or female), type of crime (murder, homicide, etc. ) Independent variable: the presumed cause in a cause-and-effect relationship: dependent variable: the presumed effect in a cause-and-effect relationship. An example of this would be that of divorce. Divorce would be the independent variable and the children the dependent. If we think of this in terms of x and y, x is independent and y the dependent.
