Recenzje

'Druckman pushes back against the fast-moving Mturkification of experimental research, advocating fewer quick and dirty experiments that are not closely tied to theory building. Although I am relieved to see experimentation accepted as a mainstream method in political science, this book provides a much needed antidote to the fast lane characterizing the current profusion of experimental studies.' Diana Mutz, University of Pennsylvania
