Social scientists search for interventions in the real world that approximate the conditions of an experiment. One form of such natural experiments that is increasingly used in social science research is regression discontinuity (RD). RD designs are possible when there are thresholds that cause large changes in the assignment of treatments on the basis of small differences in a variable. For example, a high school junior in the state of Pennsylvania who scored 214 out of 240 on the 2012 PSAT test received the treatment of being a National Merit Semi-Finalist, whereas a comparable student who scored 213 did not. The intuition behind a RD design is that we often can learn something about the effects of a treatment by comparing observations that barely receive a treatment (e.g., individuals with scores of 214 and just above on the PSAT) to observations that barely miss receiving a treatment (e.g., individuals who score 213 and just below on the PSAT). We discuss the assumptions under which the effects of treatment that are assigned based on a discontinuous threshold can be estimated using a RD design. We then illustrate how graphical analysis can be used to illustrate whether these assumptions are likely to hold. We conclude by discussing two examples of cutting-edge research that employs RD designs and discussing areas of future research. Keywords: regression discontinuity; natural experiments; treatment effects; selection bias

Don E. Lindley
Howard S. Becker (1928–) is a sociologist known for his work in the sociology of deviance, art, qualitative methods, visual sociology, and the practice of research and writing in the social sciences. He is the author of Art worlds, a seminal book on the sociology of art, Writing for social scientists, and Tricks of the trade. His book, Outsiders: Studies in the sociology of deviance, introduced labeling theory as an approach from his perspective for understanding deviance. He obtained his PhD from the University of Chicago, and in 1965 was appointed Professor of Sociology at Northwestern University, where he remained until 1991. After 1991, he taught at a number of universities, including the University of Washington in Seattle and the University of California in Santa Barbara. An accomplished jazz musician, he lives and works in San Francisco, California. Keywords: Art and Music; Labeling Theory; Sociology of Deviance

In simplest terms qualitative researchers attempt to understand people's lived experiences, patterns of discourse, and observable behaviors as they occur in natural settings. Such inquiry rarely results in numerical tallies, instead generating textual descriptions of unstructured data that are thought to represent phenomena of interest. These qualitative research data are analyzed in terms of data-generated themes that point to one or more interpretations of the findings. As a cyclical and iterative process, qualitative research does not proceed in a linear fashion, and this flexibility can make it hard to predict what will come up in terms of ethical issues as the research progresses. It may also be relatively intrusive because it often delves into the private realm and it is inherently interested in people's personal views. As a result of these and other factors, “qualitative inquiry raises distinctive ethical issues” that should be understood on their own, not just in comparison to quantitative research.
