Synopsis
The goal of this text is to introduce the basic concepts of social science research methods to advanced undergraduate and beginning graduate students in programs that study families and children. Methods of Family Research differs from other research methods texts in a significant way. While traditional texts focus on teaching students how to produce research, this text teaches how to consume research. It equips students to critically read, understand, and evaluate research without getting bogged down in technical details.

Review
"The Greenstein book provides a review and a common ground for discussion of other class readings. I am unaware of any similar books and this is a welcome addition for my classes in family. It is unique and provides a quick review that students and I find helpful. I welcome a Second Edition."
(Mary Ann Powell)"I think this book serves a real need for students at the beginning stages of family research."
(Barbara D. Ames)"I've always thought that a real strength of this book is that it looks seriously at the issue of ethics and social concerns in the research enterprise."
(Kory Floyd)"I agree with the author that making better consumers of research is an important and laudable goal for this audience....The 'new and improved' text is likely to fill a need within human development and family relations departments."
