spq-research-design

separate

Use when defending the research design of a Social Psychology Quarterly (SPQ) manuscript — laboratory and survey experiments (group processes, status), survey and secondary-data analysis (social structure and personality), or observation/ethnography and interviews (symbolic interaction). SPQ judges each tradition on its own terms but always asks how the design captures the link between structure and the individual. Strengthens the design; it does not write code.

When to use

• defending research design for SPQ manuscripts
• specifying experimental settings
• specifying survey or measurement plans
• specifying fieldwork or interview designs
• justifying design against rival accounts
• operationalizing social-psychological mechanisms
• addressing reviewer questions on causal claims or validity
• conducting design stress tests

When not to use

• writing code
