Synopsis

- Each of the 53 cases presents a practical problem faced by a researcher and the solution he or she selected.

-The questions encourage students to evaluate the researcher's solution and consider alternatives.

-All cases are drawn from the published literature. Your students will evaluate real problems faced by practicing researchers.

-All major topics in research methods are covered. Here are samples from the seven major sections of the book: -Sampling: Sampling Hispanic Adults by Telephone
-Measurement: Social Desirability
-Operational Definitions: Defining "Physical Abuse" of Children
-Procedures: Controlling the Distribution of a Questionnaire
-Experimental and Causal-Comparative Design: Forming Comparison
-Groups in Classroom Research on Reading
-Ethical Considerations: Prescreening Adolescents for Stress
-Interpretation of Results: Health Risk Behaviors of Adolescents

-The extensive instructor's guide provides discussion points as well as samples of students' answers obtained in the field tests.

-This supplementary book makes dry textbook principles come alive! Students learn that research is a dynamic process-that for many problems there are competing solutions, each with its own advantages and drawbacks.

-The 35 short cases are ideal for classroom discussions. The 18 longer ones make great homework assignments.
