Question

how you would address the four problems confronting scientists who study collective behavior.

Please provide the best answer for the statement

Answer 1

1. A full description of the kind of behavior the student intends to analyze. The behavior
should be a “collective behavior” as defined by the text.
2. A thoughtful description of how the student would collect this data based upon the
sample studies discussed in the chapter.
3. A direct and thorough explanation of how the student would address each of the four
problems associated with these types of studies (lack of conceptual clarity, lack of
early warning, danger, lack of systematic primary source data, having to work with
retrospective accounts creates subjective judgment).
