Preface ix
PART I: FOUNDATIONS 1
1. Oracles, Norms, and Science 3
Presents our question: What principles should guide
the development and use of data and models in the
social sciences? Discusses the scope of human
information and four problem areas in using data and
models to study human individuals, groups, and
institutions. Discusses the approach to normative
analysis we will be using to address these problems.
Introduces the information cycle—the process of
generating human information, from framing
questions to forming policies and making decisions.
2. Modeling 23
What is modeling and what are models? How are they
developed? What principles can we derive from
understanding the nature of the modeling process itself?
3. Dreams and Disappointments 43
The history of how we have gotten to the place we
are today with so much scientific social study and
human information. What are the major critiques of
the social scientific enterprise?
PART II: THE INFORMATION CYCLE 61
4. A Priori Influences on the Information Cycle 63
Three different modes of thinking in the social
sciences and the underlying values and assumptions
behind each. Principal benefits and limits of each.
Defining objectivity in the social sciences.
5. Measurement of Human Information 87
The starting place for much human information is
measurement. What then are the social benefits of
a good system of measurement? What measurement
scales are available and what does each require or
assume? Some examples of good measurement in
the.social sciences.
6. Limitations of Measurement in the Social Sciences 107
The dark side of measurement —that is, the harms
that can arise from mismeasurement or improper use
of measurement scales. Three case studies—stress,
intelligence, and project evaluation—and the potential
consequences of misusing measurement.
7. Information for Inferences:
What Are Social Science Data? 137
How are we to understand laws in the social
sciences? Can inferences be regarded in the same way
as they are in the natural sciences? Principles for
interpreting common statistical tests in the social
sciences.
8. Causality 157
What do we mean by cause ? How can we establish
that A causes B? Principles to weed out faulty claims of
causation. Implications for how we are to understand
social scientific results.
9. Models and Policy Making 179
Modern history of the use of social science data and
models in public policy. Influences toward their
misuse. Principles for wiser use of social science in
public policy.
