Armin Scholl introduces the fundamental logic of surveys as a social science method. Alongside the textbook, methodological frameworks of selected empirical studies are published online to illustrate the variety of practical possibilities and variants of surveys through concrete examples. The book aims not only to convey the rules of the method but also to encourage a creative approach to it. Additionally, great emphasis is placed on a pragmatic and neutral presentation of qualitative and quantitative survey forms. The book systematically addresses the different procedures of surveys as well as their forms, variants, and issues. The author also discusses the planning and execution of a survey.
