The Nature of Social Research

A lecture on the characteristics of social research and the research process taken from a series on research methods and research design given to masters (graduate) students by Graham R Gibbs at the University of Huddersfield. This session examines the distinctive nature of social research and introduces the three main research strategies of survey, experiment and case study.

Basic, simple BUT very important. Research is a journey that u can't learn unless you really do it. Thanks for sharing.

Mr. Gibbs, thank you so much for your videos. I'm currently taking a social research class, and I was looking for videos related to this class. Thank you so much for the time you invested in them. I will watch all of them. I'm sure that these videos will help other students, just like me, understand the basics of social research.

I feel i have just entered a time warp Graham as you taught me as an undergraduate Human Ecology student in Huddersfield in 1982 and now some 35 years later as PhD student using realist research i have found my way back into one of your lectures. Wow. tempus fugit
