George Andrew Lundberg studied sociology under M. C. Elmer, L. L. Bernard, and F. S. Chapin. His early work consisted of empirical investigations of a variety of topics; some titles include: “Sex Differences on Social Questions,” “The Newspaper and Public Opinion,” and “The Demographic and Economic Basis of Political Radicalism and Conservatism” (see Catton 1968). Later, Lundberg became renowned as the champion of a neo‐positivistic, quantitative approach to social science, against the older traditions of social philosophy and case study. In this respect, he formed part of an influential movement within US sociology in the 1920s and 1930s (see Hammersley 1989: Ch. 4)
