Social Experimentation offers a user-friendly presentation of Donald Campbell's essential work in social experimentation. It includes exploration of the experimenting society; the compatibility of quantitative and qualitative methods of validity seeking; threats to the validity of social experiments and how they can be controlled; the degree to which the social sciences can achieve scientific status; and the degree to which the operations, products and consequences of science have a social impact.
