Social science is a research conducted by social scientists following a systematic plan. Social research methodologies can be classified as quantitative and qualitative. Quantitative variables approach social phenomena through quantifiable evidence, and often rely on statistical analysis of many cases to create valid and reliable general claims. Qualitative variables  emphasize understanding of social phenomena through direct observation, communication with participants, or analysis of texts, and may stress contextual subjective accuracy over generality.

What was the "monster study"? was it ethical or unethical

# data[].attributes.body
The monster study was a stuttering experiment that was beyond unethical. It was conducted by Wendell Johnson a professor from the University of Iowa. He selected one of his own students, Mary Tutor to conduct the experiment. In this study, Johnson gathered 22 orphaned children, and divided them into two separate groups. One group was given positive speech therapy, where the children were encouraged and complimented on their speech. Whilst the other group were provided with negative speech therapy, where each child was criticized and scolded for any mistakes they made in their conversation and were told that they were hopeless stutterers. The students who were put through the course of the negative speech therapy experienced awful physiological effects, many of them consisted of speech issues for the rest of their lives. This horrific experiment was then labeled as the monster study as it was simply a diabolical and monstrous thing to do really.

the 'monster study" was unethical because the children did not have the option to choose what they wanted to do and where forced to undergo testing. doing so was also mentally abusive on young children for disciplining them for something they cannot control.

is the effect, the phenomenon affected or changed by other actions or phenomena. Examples of dependent variables in sociology include levels of crime or poverty in neighborhoods, racist attitudes or order within a civil society.

Independent variables are those factors, activities and other phenomena that change or affect the value or level of a dependent variable. Sociologists often represent independent variables mathematically with the letter "X."  A sociologist who studies criminal behavior may ask how lack of economic opportunity affects urban crime rates. For such a study, lack of economic opportunity represents the independent variable, while urban crime rate is the dependent.
