Synopsis

This is a comprehensive methodology text for the instructor looking for limited coverage of statistics in a methods textbook. It offers a balance of qualitative and quantitative research approaches. Both approaches are treated as serious alternatives that have their own strengths. It includes an extensive discussion of how to do historic-comparative research. Topics covered include research ethics, using the library for preparing a literature review and a survey research. The text also presents alternative epistemological approaches to social research and links the research techniques to theory.

A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

This comprehensive text offers students balanced coverage of both the qualitative and quantitative approaches to social research. The fourth edition of Social Research Methods renews its commitment to help students learn that social research does not take place in a vacuum, but in a social and historical context that can affect their actions. It teaches students to guard against ethnocentric perspectives and confining their research on the assumptions, values, and beliefs of their own particular society. Lastly, the author hopes to show students not only that both quantitative and qualitative styles of social research are valuable, but that the greatest benefit to social research lies in combining the two.
