Kwantificering in de sociologie

E. M. Blok van der Voort

Statistica Neerlandica, 1964, vol. 18, issue 3, 341-346

Abstract: Ensuing the recognition of indirect measurement of so‐called non‐measurable data in sociological research, many kinds of indices and scales have been constructed in order to grasp the essence of complex reality. Especially in the realm of attitude research the use of e.g. the GUTTMAN scale has been fruitful. Notwithstanding many critical remarks, new developments in scaling theory and scaling techniques warrant an optimistic view of sociology as an exact empirical science. More than up to now statistical thinking and methods will have to play a part in this development.
