Open Question

Las preguntas abiertas son frecuentes en un cuestionario. Su utilización es necesaria particularmente cuando se busca conocer las motivaciones y la opinión de los entrevistados sobre algún asunto. Tradicionalmente el tratamiento de este tipo de respuestas consiste en cerrar la variable, complicándose el proceso a medida que el tamaño de la muestra aumenta. En estos casos, se utiliza un análisis estadístico de datos textuales que con ayuda del análisis de correspondencias, permite descubrir tendencias, desviaciones y asociaciones entre individuo y palabras. Para mostrar la metodología se presenta un estudio sobre el uso de redes sociales, tomando en cuenta una pregunta abierta y las características individuales de los entrevistados. El  análisis muestra que, eventualmente, algunas personas forman parte de una red social por conocer gente y por comunicarse, por diversión o trabajo, por facilidad, hacer tareas o comunicarse con personas lejanas y maestros. A otros no les gustan pero reconocen la necesidad de utilizarlas.AbstractOpen questions are frequent in a questionnaire. Its use is necessary when it is intended to know motivations and interviewees’ opinion about some matter. Traditionally, the treatment to this type of responses consists of closing the variable, the process gets complicated as soon as the sample increases. In these cases, it is used a statistical analysis of textual data that, with help of the correspondence analysis, allows to discover tendencies, deviations and associations between individual and words. To show the methodology, it is presented a study of social networks use, considering an open question and individual characteristics of the interviewees. The analysis shows that, eventually some people are part of social networks for meeting people and for communicating, for fun or work, for ease, for doing homework or to communicate with distant people and teachers. Others do not like them but they recognize the need of using them.Recibido: 27 de marzo de 2014Acpetado: 23 de septiembre de 2014

With student co-authors, this book chapter shares the impetus, background, origin, and sources of institutional support for Diverse Student Scholars, which is a predominantly undergraduate, interdisciplinary research program created and founded by the first faculty author. Along with offering student involvement details on the Diverse Student Scholars program, the relevance of institution-mission fit for undergraduate research is discussed. The authors summarize the Diverse Student Scholars program impact and connect student undergraduate research engagement with the potential for advancing workforce diversity competencies.

State Of Affairs

Increasingly, interdisciplinary research teams are coming together totry to establish regularities, over space and time, in the complexsystem that is the human phenomenon. Although vocabulary and toolshave changed, the questions that animate this research program bearstriking similarity to those pursued by nineteenth-centuryintellectuals in a quest to establish universal laws shaping humanaffairs. In fact, that very quest provided the impetus for theemergence of what would later become distinct disciplines in thesocial and historical sciences, including anthropology and sociology.Why, then, is this interdisciplinary research program often met withskepticism, or even outright resistance, within anthropology?In this chapter I provide a brief outline of developments in thehistory of anthropology leading to this state of affairs, in the hopeof alleviating misunderstanding between those who support theinterdisciplinary research program and those who oppose it. As apractical contribution toward this end, I then provide an overview ofkey established resources for systematic comparative approaches to thearchaeological record. I conclude by discussing challenges andopportunities in this area at the interface with recent developmentsin related archaeological practice.
