Methods of Family Research

By Theodore N. Greenstein

Book Overview

Proud sponsor of the 2019 SAGE Keith Roberts Teaching Innovations Award--enabling graduate students and early career faculty to attend the annual ASA pre-conference teaching and learning workshop.

In the 3rd edition of Methods of Family Research, authors Theodore N. Greenstein and Shannon N. Davis continue to help students better understand the research results they encounter in doing family research. Using real-life examples to illustrate important concepts that family researchers encounter regularly, the text covers traditional quantitative methods, qualitative methods, and the mixed-method approach. Written in a clear, concise style, this book differs from other research methods texts, which focus on teaching students how to produce research, by teaching them how to consume research in a sophisticated, effective manner. The book introduces the basic concepts of social science research methods without excessive technical details.

Good

Good book for seeing how research works with family therapy. Only one of its kind for this type of information. It's a short and easy read as well!
