A sociologist wants to study racial discrimination in hiring, and decides to either distribute a survey asking employers about their hiring methods, or conduct an experiment that involves sending fake resumes to employers to see who gets an interview. Which method would best examine racial discrimination in hiring and why? a. The survey method because employers will detect the experiment and invalidate the results. b. The experimental method because the researcher can isolate the effect of race by creating otherwise identical resumes. c.
