The Sage handbook of applied social research methods
Bickman, Leonard
Rog, Debra J.
The SAGE Handbook of Applied Social Research Methods, Second Edition providesstudents and researchers with the most comprehensive resource covering core methods, research designs, and data collection, management and analysis issues.This thoroughly revised edition continues to place critical emphasis on finding the tools that best fit the research question given the constraints of deadlines, budget and available staff. Each chapter offers key guidance on how to make intelligent and conscious tradeoffs so that one can refine and hone the research question as new knowledge is gained, unanticipated obstacles are encountered, or contextual shifts take place – all key elements in the iterative nature of applied research. Each chapter has been enhanced pedagogically to include more step-bystep procedures, specific, rich yet practical examples from various settings to illustrate the method, parameters to define when the method is most appropriate and when it is not appropriate, and greater use of visual aids (graphs, models, tip boxes) to provide teaching and learning tools.
