【摘要】：在过去30年,实验方法的崛起为政治学研究掀起了一场方法论的革命。在此背景下,本文回顾了实验政治学几个核心的方法论问题:(1)与观察性研究相比,实验研究在因果推论方面有何优势;(2)政治学者如何做实验研究来保障这一优势;(3)如何评价实验政治研究的效度;(4)实验方法用于政治学研究有何局限与挑战。笔者认为,一旦弄清实验方法的这些基本特征,政治学者便可充分利用其优势、克服其局限,以此作为理解政治现象的研究利器。
[Abstract]:Over the past 30 years, the rise of experimental methods has set off a methodological revolution in political science. In this context, this paper reviews several core methodological issues of experimental politics: (1) compared with observational research, What are the advantages of experimental research in causal inference; (2) how do political scholars do experimental research to protect this advantage; (3) how to evaluate the validity of experimental political research; (4) what are the limitations and challenges of experimental methods in political science research. The author holds that once the basic characteristics of the experimental method are clarified, the political scholars can make full use of its advantages and overcome its limitations as a research tool to understand the political phenomena.
