Howard S. Becker is a master of his discipline. His reputation as a teacher, as well as a sociologist, is supported by his best-selling quartet of sociological guidebooks: Writing for Social Scientists, Tricks of the Trade, Telling About Society, and What About Mozart? What About Murder? It turns out that the master sociologist has yet one more trick up his sleeve—a fifth guidebook, Evidence.
Becker has for seventy years been mulling over the problem of evidence. He argues that social scientists don’t take questions about the usefulness of their data as evidence for their ideas seriously enough. For example, researchers have long used the occupation of a person’s father as evidence of the family’s social class, but studies have shown this to be a flawed measure—for one thing, a lot of people answer that question too vaguely to make the reasoning plausible. The book is filled with examples like this, and Becker uses them to expose a series of errors, suggesting ways to avoid them, or even to turn them into research topics in their own right. He argues strongly that because no data-gathering method produces totally reliable information, a big part of the research job consists of getting rid of error. Readers will find Becker’s newest guidebook a valuable tool, useful for social scientists of every variety.

本身主题不算有趣,满篇长句和烦冗介词看得更累人,但一边觉得无聊吧,一边又能隐约get到作者的一些毒舌冷幽默...

由于有1998《窍门》为标杆,所以很难给Becker其它书打到5星了,但是这本书依然有趣和重要,是非常fallibilism的色彩,用显微镜的方式研究社会学数据收集的各个环节,并且推进一步:就是最后三页的两个建议: “错误不要犯第二次”,只要“你把它成可研究的问题”。

data-evidence-idea cycle 在不同研究里面的 manifestation,分析了很多数据和证据的问题,社会学研究大祛魅…多少学者的东西看似冠冕堂皇实则经不起推敲。不过下次可以写短点,贝克先生。

其实挺失望的,并没有读到什么有趣的点。伤心。
