parents vs. people who already know their parents, switching language
once they find you people can speak their language; we code switch to

What are the 4 Types of research? How are they different? What are the examples for
each type of research?

1. descriptive research-describes people, social patterns, and so on
(whenever we want to describe what's going on in society); ex. US Census
report on college enrollment by race
2. exploratory research-examine some new social phenomena or
something that has not been studied by other researchers before (little
prior knowledge) to learn more about what's going on; ex. interview study
on pup play
3. explanatory research-examine and explain relationships between
different factors (to say something about social processes); ex. statistical
analysis of conditions leading to gender segregation of workplace
4. evaluative research-examine the effects/effectiveness of policies and
programs; ex. statistical analysis to assess whether "stop and frisk" works to
reduce crime
