Synopsis:
Following up on his successful initial foray into helping students better understand the research results they encounter, author Theodore N. Greenstein has revised and updated his popular Methods of Family Research to benefit a new generation of students and researchers! The Second Edition of 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. Written in a clear, concise style, this book introduces the basic concepts of social science research methods without getting bogged down in technical details. The text covers traditional quantitative methods, qualitative methods, and the mixed-method approach, and uses real-life examples to address issues family researchers deal with every day.
About the Author: Theodore N. Greenstein is a father, husband, teacher, author, and researcher. He is currently Associate Professor of Sociology at North Carolina State University. He received his Ph.D. in Sociology from Washington State University and has been teaching sociology of the family, research methods, and statistics since 1976. His research program focuses on the intersection of work and family. His publications on the division of household labor, marital stability, and the effects of maternal employment on child well-being have appeared in Social Forces, the Journal of Marriage and Family, the Journal of Family Issues, and the Journal of Comparative Family Studies. He is a member of the American Sociological Association, the Southern Sociological Society, the Council on Contemporary Families, and the National Council on Family Relations.
