michael schwalbe argues that there are many advantages to using systematic study to study the social world. which of the following best describes the advantages of systematic study that he discusses?
○ systematic study helps us control personal biases, gain information outside our own experience, and ensure researchers have followed an agreed upon set of ethics and principles.
○ systematic study allows us to make generalizations from our personal experience, and to compare our opinions to other peoples opinions.
○ systematic studies follow the scientific method, which guarantees their conclusions will match what the researcher expected at the beginning of the research process
○ using systematic study guarantees sociological research is better than psychological research and helps us to understand the causes of social problems.

Explanation:

Systematic study in sociology focuses on reducing personal bias, leveraging broader data beyond individual experience, and adhering to shared ethical/ methodological standards, which aligns with this option. The other options are incorrect: systematic study does not generalize from personal experience, does not guarantee conclusions match initial expectations, and does not claim superiority over psychological research.

Answer:

Systematic study helps us control personal biases, gain information outside our own experience, and ensure researchers have followed an agreed upon set of ethics and principles.
