1. Measures of Central Tendency | 集中趋势测量公式
The arithmetic mean summarises a data set by spreading total value equally across all cases. It is defined as the sum of all scores divided by the number of scores.
算术平均数将总值平均分配到每个个案上，公式为所有数值之和除以个案总数。
Mean (x̄) = Σx / N
Where Σx is the sum of all values and N is the total number of observations. For example, if five students’ test scores are 12, 15, 18, 20, 25, the mean is (12+15+18+20+25)/5 = 18.
其中Σx表示所有数值的总和，N表示观察值的总个数。例如，五名学生的测试分数为12、15、18、20、25，均值等于(12+15+18+20+25)÷5 = 18。
The median is the middle value when data are arranged in order. If N is odd, it is the central score; if N is even, it is the mean of the two central scores.
中位数是将数据排序后处于正中间的值。若总数为奇数，则取最中间的一个值；若为偶数，则取中间两个值的平均数。
The mode is the most frequently occurring value in a data set. A set can have one mode, more than one mode, or no mode at all.
众数是数据集中出现频率最高的值，一个数据集可以有一个众数、多个众数或者没有众数。
2. Measures of Dispersion | 离散趋势测量公式
Dispersion tells us how spread out the data are. The simplest measure is the range, calculated as the difference between the highest and lowest value.
离散趋势描述数据的分散程度。最简单的测量是极差，由最高值与最低值相减得到。
Range = Xmax − Xmin
The interquartile range (IQR) focuses on the middle 50% of data: IQR = Q3 − Q1, where Q1 is the lower quartile and Q3 is the upper quartile.
四分位距关注中间50%的数据：IQR = 上四分位数(Q3) − 下四分位数(Q1)。
The standard deviation is the most sensitive measure because it uses every score. It expresses the average distance of each value from the mean.
标准差是最灵敏的离散量数，因为它使用到了每一个数值，表示各个数值与均值之间的平均距离。
σ = √[ Σ(x − x̄)² / N ]
Where σ is the population standard deviation, x represents each individual value, x̄ is the mean, and N is the total number. In Sociology, when working with survey samples, the divisor N−1 is sometimes used.
其中σ为总体标准差，x代表每个独立数值，x̄为均值，N为总个数。在社会学调查样本中，有时分母会使用N−1。
3. Social Demographic Rates | 社会人口统计比率
Sociologists frequently convert raw numbers into rates to allow comparison across populations of different sizes. Birth, death and divorce rates are standard examples.
社会学家常将原始数据转换为比率，以便在规模不同的人群之间进行比较。出生率、死亡率和离婚率就是标准范例。
Crude Birth Rate = (Total live births / Total population) × 1000
The crude death rate follows the same logic: (Total deaths / Total population) × 1000. Both are expressed per 1000 people per year.
粗死亡率遵循相同逻辑：(总死亡人数 ÷ 总人口) × 1000。两者都以每年每千人中的发生数来表示。
The divorce rate can be expressed per 1000 married people or per 1000 population. CCEA specification often uses the crude divorce rate: (Number of divorces / Total population) × 1000. This measure helps link family change to broader social patterns.
离婚率可用每千名已婚者或每千人口中的离婚数来表示。CCEA考纲通常采用粗离婚率：(离婚件数 ÷ 总人口) × 1000。这一指标有助于将家庭变迁与更广泛的社会模式联系起来。
4. Spearman’s Rank Correlation Coefficient | 斯皮尔曼等级相关系数
Spearman’s rho (ρ) measures the strength and direction of the relationship between two sets of ranked data. It is especially useful in sociological research when working with ordinal variables, such as social class rankings and educational attainment levels.
斯皮尔曼等级相关系数(ρ)用于衡量两组排序数据之间关系的强度与方向。当处理社会阶级排名、教育成就等级等定序变量时，这一方法在社会学研究中尤为有用。
ρ = 1 − [ 6Σd² / (n(n² − 1)) ]
Where d is the difference between the ranks of each pair, and n is the number of paired observations. The coefficient ranges from −1 (perfect negative correlation) to +1 (perfect positive correlation).
公式中d为每对观测值的秩次差，n为配对观测的个数。相关系数的取值范围从−1（完全负相关）到+1（完全正相关）。
For example, if you rank 8 students by family income and by GCSE score, compute each pair’s rank difference, square it, sum those squares, and apply the formula. A positive ρ would suggest income and attainment are positively linked.
例如，选取8名学生，分别按家庭收入与GCSE成绩排序，计算每对秩次差、平方后加总再代入公式。若得到正的ρ，则表明收入与成绩正相关。
5. Chi-Square Test of Association | 卡方独立性检验
The chi-square test (χ²) enables sociologists to determine whether there is a statistically significant association between two categorical variables – for instance, gender and subject choice, or ethnicity and educational achievement.
卡方检验帮助社会学家判断两个分类变量之间是否存在统计上显著的关联，例如性别与科目选择、族群与教育成就之间的关系。
χ² = Σ [ (O − E)² / E ]
O stands for the observed frequency in each cell of a contingency table, and E is the expected frequency under the null hypothesis of no association. The larger the χ² value, the more likely it is that the variables are associated.
O表示列联表每个单元格的观察频数，E是在无关联的虚无假设下的期望频数。卡方值越大，两个变量之间存在关联的可能性越高。
Degrees of freedom are calculated as (number of rows − 1) × (number of columns − 1). The final χ² is compared against a critical value at a chosen significance level – commonly p < 0.05.
自由度计算公式为(行数−1)×(列数−1)。最终的χ²值需要与选定显著性水平（通常为p < 0.05）下的临界值进行比较。
6. Educational Inequality Index | 教育不平等指数公式
To quantify gaps in attainment, sociologists construct simple indices. One helpful measure is the attainment gap percentage between two social groups, such as pupils eligible for free school meals (FSM) and those not eligible.
为了量化成就差距，社会学家会构建简单的指数。一个有用的指标是两个社会群体之间的成就差距百分比，例如符合免费学校午餐(FSM)资格与不符合资格的学生之间的差距。
Attainment Gap % = [(% higher group − % lower group) / % higher group] × 100
Alternatively, you may see the raw gap: Attainment Gap = % achieving 5+ GCSEs (non‑FSM) − % achieving 5+ GCSEs (FSM). Both forms expose the scale of inequality in education.
另一种形式是绝对差距：成就差距 = 非FSM学生获得5门以上GCSE的百分比 − FSM学生获得5门以上GCSE的百分比。两种形式都揭示了教育不平等的程度。
7. Marxist Theorem of Exploitation | 马克思主义剥削率定理
Marxist sociology often uses the concept of the rate of exploitation to expose the extraction of surplus value from labour. The theorem states that capitalism depends on paying workers less than the value they create.
马克思主义社会学经常运用剥削率的概念来揭露从劳动中榨取剩余价值的过程。该定理表明，资本主义依赖支付给工人的报酬低于他们创造的价值。
Rate of Exploitation (e) = Surplus Value (s) / Variable Capital (v) × 100
Surplus value is the difference between the value produced by labour and the wages paid. Variable capital refers to the cost of hiring labour power. A rising exploitation rate intensifies class polarisation.
剩余价值指劳动创造的价值与所付工资之间的差额。可变资本指雇佣劳动力的成本。不断提高的剥削率会加剧阶级两极分化。
8. Durkheim’s Suicide Integration Theorem | 涂尔干自杀与社会整合定理
Durkheim’s classic theorem proposes that suicide rates vary inversely with the degree of social integration and moral regulation. When integration collapses, anomic suicide rises.
涂尔干的经典定理提出，自杀率与社会整合和道德规范的强弱成反比。当整合崩塌时，失范型自杀便会上升。
Anomic Suicide ∝ 1 / (Social Integration × Moral Regulation)
He identified four types of suicide – egoistic, altruistic, anomic and fatalistic – each linked to different levels of integration and regulation. This theorem remains fundamental for any sociological analysis of deviance.
他区分了四种自杀类型：利己型、利他型、失范型和宿命型，每一种都与整合与规范的不同水平相连。这一定理已成为越轨行为社会学分析的基石。
9. Weber’s Rationalisation Formula | 韦伯理性化命题
Weber argued that modern societies are increasingly governed by means-end rationality (Zweckrationalität). Bureaucracy, as the purest form of rational-legal authority, follows a calculable logic: efficiency is maximised by formal rules and hierarchical structures.
韦伯认为，现代社会日益受到目的合理性(Zweckrationalität)的支配。科层制作为法理型权威的最纯粹形式，遵循一套可计算逻辑：通过正式规则和等级结构将效率最大化。
Rationalisation = (Predictable Rules × Specialisation) ÷ Affective Ties
This metaphorical formula captures the displacement of traditional and emotional bonds by impersonal calculation. In the education system, this appears in standardised testing and credentialism.
这一隐喻式公式捕捉了传统与情感纽带被非人格化计算所取代的过程。在教育体系中，这体现在标准化考试和文凭主义中。
10. Feminist Triple Shift Equation | 女性主义三重轮班等式
Feminist sociologists demonstrate that many women undertake a ‘triple shift’ – paid work, housework and emotional labour. The total domestic workload is rarely calculated in official statistics, yet it has profound effects on family life.
女性主义社会学家指出，许多女性承担着“三重轮班”——有偿工作、家务劳动和情感劳动。尽管官方统计很少计入家务总工作量，但它对家庭生活有深远影响。
Women’s Total Work = Paid Labour Hours + Routine Housework Hours + Emotional Care Hours
When men’s and women’s loads are compared, the gender gap in total work hours exposes structural inequality. Quantitative researchers use time-use diaries to measure these components.
将男女的总负荷进行比较时，总工作时间的性别差距便暴露了结构性不平等。定量研究者借助时间利用日记来测量各个组成部分。
11. Parsons’ AGIL Functional Prerequisites | 帕森斯AGIL功能先决条件定理
Talcott Parsons proposed that any social system must fulfil four functional prerequisites to survive: Adaptation, Goal attainment, Integration and Latency (pattern maintenance). This theorem is a cornerstone of functionalist analysis of the family and education.
塔尔科特·帕森斯提出，任何社会系统为维持存续都必须满足四项功能先决条件：适应(A)、目标达成(G)、整合(I)和模式维持(L，即维模)。该定理是对家庭与教育进行功能主义分析的基石。
System Survival = f(A, G, I, L)
In the family, primary socialisation fulfils the ‘L’ function, while the stable satisfaction of the sex drive contributes to ‘I’. Schools perform ‘G’ through meritocratic selection.
在家庭中，初级社会化履行了维模(L)功能，而性需求的稳定满足有助于整合(I)。学校则通过择优选拔来实现目标达成(G)功能。
12. The Value Freedom Formula | 价值中立研究准则
CCEA examinations expect students to debate whether sociology can be value-free. Weber’s principle of value neutrality can be summarised as a methodological ideal: sociologists should separate factual statements from value judgments in the conduct of research.
CCEA考试期望学生能讨论社会学是否可以做到价值中立。韦伯的价值中立原则可被概括为一种方法论理想：社会学家在研究过程中应把事实陈述与价值判断分开。
Objectivity = (Systematic Method × Transparency) − Researcher Bias
This formula reminds researchers that data collection and analysis must follow explicit procedures so that personal values do not distort findings. It is closely linked to the ethical guideline of reflexivity.
该公式提醒研究者，数据收集与分析必须遵循明确的程序，以免个人价值观扭曲研究发现。它与反思性这一伦理准则紧密相连。
