Ethnographic Free-List Data

Management and Analysis With Examples in R

Beschreibung

This method involves research participants listing what they know or think about the researcher's topic. This book incorporates free-list analyses with other analytical methods and demonstrates their broad applicability. The book starts with descriptive methods, then outlines a predictive statistical framework. The author explains how to collect, clean, and manage free-list data and how to use R to calculate and visualize them.

His books include Religion Evolving: Cultural, Cognitive, and Ecological Dynamics (with Richard Sosis, Equinox), The Minds of Gods: New Horizons in the Naturalistic Study of Religion (with Theiss Bendixen, Bloomsbury), the two-volume Evolution of Religion and Morality project (with Martin Lang, Joseph Henrich, and Ara Norenzayan, Routledge), and Morality and the Gods (Cambridge University Press).
