The story describes the selfish king Janakinath who had a large bath built for the people of his town of Mohenjo-Daro.

This document summarizes key aspects of survey research methods in social sciences. It discusses the history of survey research from early presidential polls to the development of modern methods.

This document provides an overview of comparative methods in social sciences. It discusses key concepts like units of observation, comparative sociology as a sub-discipline, and approaches to comparative research. Comparative research aims to test hypotheses about relationships between variables across space and time. Nations, states, countries, and societies are common units of analysis. Approaches can examine relationships at macro and micro levels within and across countries. The document also reviews traditions in comparative sociology from Marx, Weber, and Durkheim.
The document discusses various concepts relevant to comparative social science research including:
- Equivalence across different components of research like definition, selection, data collection etc.
- Sources of error in measurement and response styles like leniency, central tendency, and proximity.
- Validity and reliability as important measurement properties.
- Factor analysis approaches to examine underlying constructs measured by observed variables.
- The strategy of creating functionally equivalent measures across countries for comparative analyses.
- The distinction between emic and etic indicators for describing attitudes and behaviors.
