论文摘要
本文是测量工具与他们在社会科学中引起的数据之间因果关系的第一个系统描述。反身测量的问题普遍存在，并深刻影响社会科学探究。我认为，当面对反思性测量问题时，如果没有我们测量工具的因果关系的模型，就不可能对社会世界的科学知识。
This essay is the first systematic account of causal relationships between measurement instruments and the data they elicit in the social sciences. This problem of reflexive measurement is pervasive and profoundly affects social scientific inquiry. I argue that, when confronted by the problem of reflexive measurement, scientific knowledge of the social world is not possible without a model of the causal effect of our measurement instruments.
