DesignTHIRD EDITION

John W. CreswellUniversity of Nebraska-Lincoln

The Third Edition of the bestselling text Research Design by John W. Creswell enables readers to compare three approaches

to research—qualitative, quantitative, and mixed methods—in a single research methods text. The book presents these three approaches side by side within the context of the process of research from the beginning steps of philosophical assumptions to the writing and presenting of research. Written in a user-friendly manner, Creswell does not rely on technical jargon. He cuts to the core of what a reader needs to know to read and design research in part by showcasing ideas in a scaffold approach so that the reader understands ideas from the simple to the complex.

Key updates to the Third Edition:

• Presents the preliminary steps of using philosophical assumptions in the beginning of the book

• Provides an expanded discussion on ethical issues

• Emphasizes new Web-based technologies for literature searches

• Offers updated information about mixed methods research procedures

• Contains a glossary of terms

• Highlights “research tips” throughout the chapters incorporating the author’s experiences over the last 35 years

• Accompanied by an Instructor’s Resource CD ROM with a complete PowerPoint slide presentation ready-to-use in the classroom, as well as sample activities and discussion questions

Research Design, Third Edition appeals to students taking research design and research methods classes throughout the social and behavioral sciences—from undergraduates to the most advanced doctoral programs.

The Foundations of Social ResearchMeaning and Perspective in the Research ProcessMichael Crotty

The Foundation of Social Research links methodol-ogy and theory with great clarity and precision, show-ing students and researchers how to navigate the maze of confl icting terminology. The major epistemological

stances and theoretical perspectives that color and shape current social research are detailed: positivism, constructionism, interpretivism, critical inquiry, feminism and postmodernism. Crotty reveals the philosophical origins of these schools of inquiry and shows how various disciplines contribute to the practice of social research as it is known today.

Research Ethics for Social ScientistsMark Israel and Iain HayFlinders University, Adelaide, Australia

Research Ethics for Social Scientists sets out to do four things: The fi rst is to demonstrate the practical value of thinking seriously and systematically about what con-stitutes ethical conduct in social science research. Sec-ond, the text identifi es how and why current regulatory

regimes have emerged. Third, it seeks to reveal those practices that have contributed to the adversarial relationships between researchers and regulators. Finally, the book hopes to encourage both parties to develop shared solutions to ethical and regula-tory problems.

Through approximately 500 contributions, experts pro-vide an overview and an explanation of the major topics in these two areas.

Key Features

Covers every major facet of these two different, but highly integrated disciplines—from mean, mode, and median to reliability, validity, signifi cance, correlation, and much more—all without overwhelming the informed reader Offers cross-disciplinary coverage, with contributions from and applications to the fi elds of Psychology, Education, Sociology, Human Development, Political Science, Business and Management, Public Health, and others Provides cross-reference terms, further readings, and Web site URLs following most entries, as well as an extensive set of appendices and an annotated list of organizations relevant to measurement and statistics

A primary goal of creating this set of volumes is to open up the broad discipline of measurement and statistics to a wider and more general audience than usual. Edited by bestselling author Neil J. Salkind, this Encyclopedia is specifi cally designed to appeal to beginning and intermediate-level students, practitioners, researchers, and consumers of information. It is a welcome addition to any academic library.

Handbook of Critical and Indigenous MethodologiesEdited by

Norman K. DenzinUniversity of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign

Yvonna S. LincolnTexas A&M University

Linda Tuhiwai SmithUniversity of Auckland, New Zealand

Built on the foundation of the landmark SAGE Handbook of Qualitative Research, the Handbook of Critical and Indigenous Methodologies extends beyond the investigation of qualitative inquiry itself to explore the indigenous and non-indigenous voices

that inform research, policy, politics, and social justice. Editors Norman K. Denzin, Yvonna S. Lincoln, and Linda Tuhiwai Smith explore in depth some of the newer formulations of critical theories and many indigenous perspectives, and seek to make transparent the linkages between the two.

Key Features

• Contains global examples including South African, Hawaiian, Maori, Central African and Islamic ones

• Includes a “Who’s Who” of educators and researchers in critical methodologies

• Provides a comprehensive body of work that represents the state of the art for critical methodologies and indigenous discourses

• Covers the history of critical and indigenous theory and how it came to inform and impact qualitative research and indigenous peoples to the critical constructs themselves

• Offers an historical representation of critical theory, critical pedagogy, and indigenous discourse

• Explores critical theory and action theory, and their hybrid discourses: PAR, feminism, action research, social constructivism, ethnodrama, community action research, poetics

• Presents a candid conversation between indigenous and non-indigenous discourses

This Handbook serves as a guide to help Western researchers understand the new and reconfi gured territories they might wish to explore.

The bringing together of the arts and qualitative inquiry is changing the face of social science research. The increasing shift toward arts-based research has raised complex questions, such as how to evaluate its quality and even whether distinctions exist between what is art and what

is research. In the Handbook of the Arts in Qualitative Research, editors J. Gary Knowles and Ardra L. Cole bring together the top scholars in qualitative methods to provide a comprehensive overview of where arts-based research has come, and where it is going. Through various categories of art and art-based research - namely epistemological, historical, methodological, thematic - this defi ning work will address all the signifi cant issues of conceiving and conducting arts-based or arts-informed research in the social sciences and humanities, as well as the challenges of composing fi nal representations of the research.

Key Features

• An exploration of the art/science debate

• The history and epistemology of the arts in the social sciences

• An analysis of classic and emerging methodologies and approaches that employ the arts in the qualitative research process

• Comprehensive coverage of the genres employed by qualitative researchers, including literary forms, performance, visual art, media, narrative, folk art, and more

• Discussion of the issues and challenges faced when employing art in research: ethical issues, academic merit issues, and even funding issues

• An overview of the current or potential role of the arts in specifi c disciplines, including the humanities, media and communications, anthropology, sociology, psychology, women’s studies, education, social work, nursing, and health and medicine

The SAGE Handbook of Action ResearchParticipative Inquiry and Practice


Peter ReasonUniversity of Bath, U.K.Hilary BradburyUniversity of Southern California

Building on the strength of the seminal First Edition, The Sage Handbook of Ac-tion Research has been completely updated to bring chapters in line with the latest qualitative and quantitative approaches in this fi eld of social inquiry. Editors Peter Reason and Hilary Bradbury have introduced new part commentaries that draw links between different contributions and show their interrelations. Throughout, the contributing authors really engage with the pragmatics of doing action research and demonstrate how this can be a rich and rewarding refl ective practice. They tackle questions of how to integrate knowledge with action, how to collaborate with co-researchers in the fi eld, and how to present the necessarily ‘messy’ components in a coherent fashion. The organization of the volume refl ects the many different issues and levels of analysis represented. This volume is an essential resource for scholars and professionals engaged in social and political inquiry, organizational research and education.

Mixed Methods Research

Mixed MethodsFOUR-VOLUME SETEdited by

Alan BrymanUniversity of Leicester

Volume I is concerned with outlining the epistemological and ontological issues relating to the debate about quantitative and qualitative research and how these have an impact on the possibility of mixing methods. Volume II is concerned with the combination of different methods within quantitative research and within qualita-tive research. Volume III addresses the methodological issues involved in combining quantitative and qualitative research - the different ways in which mixed-methods research is actually accomplished. Volume IV continues the kinds of material used in Volume III but will also include some examples of combining quantitative and quali-tative research.

Documentary ResearchFOUR-VOLUME SETEdited by

John ScottUniversity of Essex, Colchester, U.K.

Documentary research involves the use of texts and documents as source materials: government publications, newspapers, certifi cates, census publications, novels, fi lm and video, paintings, personal photographs, diaries and innumerable other written, visual and pictorial sources in paper, electronic, or other `hard copy’ form. Along with surveys and ethnography, documentary research is one of the three major types of social research and arguably has been the most widely used of the three throughout the history of sociology and other social sciences. It has been the principal method - indeed, sometimes the only one - for leading sociologists.

The key issues surrounding types of documents and our ability to use them as reli-able sources of evidence on the social world must be considered by all who use documents in their research. The paucity of sources available until now means that this compendium will be invaluable to social researchers.

CONTENTS: Volume One: Theory and Methods in Documentary Research Volume Two: Personal Documents: Autobiographies, Letters and Photographs Volume Three: Published Sources, The Mass Media and Cyber Documents Volume Four: Offi cial Reports, Administrative Records and Offi cial Statistics

The SAGE Handbook for Social Research Methods is a must for every social-science researcher. It charts the new and evolving terrain of social research methodology, covering qualitative, quantitative, and mixed methods in one volume.

The Handbook includes chapters on each phase of the research process: research design, methods of data collection, and the processes of analyzing and interpreting data. As its editors maintain, there is much more to research than learning skills and techniques; methodology involves the fi t between theory, research questions, research design, and analysis. The book also includes several chapters that describe historical and current directions in social research, debating crucial subjects such as qualitative versus quantitative paradigms, how to judge the credibility of types of research, and the increasingly topical issue of research ethics.

The Handbook serves as an invaluable resource for approaching research with an open mind. This volume maps the fi eld of social research methods using an approach that will prove valuable for both students and researchers.

Paul J. LavrakasNeilsen Media Research

In conjunction with top survey researchers around the world and with Nielsen Media Research serving as the corporate sponsor, the Encyclopedia of Survey Re-search Methods presents state-of-the-art information

and methodological examples from the fi eld of survey research. Although there are other “how-to” guides and references texts on survey research, none is as compre-hensive as this Encyclopedia, and none presents the material in such a focused and approachable manner. With more than 600 entries, this resource uses a Total Survey Error perspective that considers all aspects of possible survey error from a cost-ben-efi t standpoint. The Encyclopedia of Survey Research Methods is specifi cally written to appeal to beginning, intermediate, and advanced students, practitioners, researchers, consultants, and consumers of survey-based information.

Research DesignFOUR-VOLUME SETEdited by

David de VausLa Trobe University, Australia

This collection brings together key articles and book chapters that provide an over-view of research design for the social sciences, focusing on the purpose, nature, and types of research design - the architecture of research rather than the mechanics of running a research project. Emphasis is put on non-laboratory-based research designs that are typically encountered in the social sciences, those involving people rather than objects. The range of issues covered is impressive: the epististemology of social research design; the complex matters of causation and the logic of design; the importance of units of analsyis; the subjective elements of human behaviour and the role of qualitative and quantitative data.

CONTENTS: PART I: THE NATURE OF RESEARCH DESIGN

PART II: EPISTEMOLOGY AND RESEARCH DESIGN

PART III: TYPES OF RESEARCH DESIGN


Comparative Methods in the Social SciencesFOUR-VOLUME SETEdited by

Alan SicaPennsylvania State University

QuestionnairesFOUR-VOLUME SETEdited by

Martin BulmerUniversity of Surrey, U.K.

Questionnaires are one of the principal research tools for discovering people’s thoughts, experience, attitudes and orientations to future action. Social scientists and researchers have been using questionnaires systematically for about three quarters of a century, since market research, opinion polling and survey research became a feature in both US and UK society in the 1920s and 30s.

This unrivalled collection provides the most complete resource of material about questionnaires.

The fi rst volume provides an introduction to the use of questionnaires. It examines the principles of question construction, considers different types of questionnaire, principles of social measurement and the relationship between expressed attitudes, and actual social behaviour.

The second volume covers the main types of questionnaire and question construc-tion. Included here is material on question order, question wording and response alternatives. The measurement of attitudes is examined.

The third volume focuses on how to handle sensitive questons, problems of validity, the extent to which researchers succeed in measuring what they want to measure, and the relationship between the tools which they use and the underlying theoretical constructs.

The fourth volume, on Surveys in the World, brings together the best material on memory and recall, truth-telling issues and how respondents comprehend basic questions. The advent of the computer programmed questionnaire is examined.

The collection represents a distillation of the world’s best material on questions and questionnaires in social surveys.

CONTENTS: VOLUME I: HISTORY, ETHICS AND CRITICISMS VOLUME II: SURVEY INSTRUMENTS AND DATA SOURCES VOLUME III: SURVEY APPLICATIONS VOLUME IV: SURVEY QUALITY


Case Study ResearchFOUR-VOLUME SETEdited by

Matthew DavidUniversity of Liverpool, U.K.

The fi rst volume covers the early infl uential statements and examples of case study research. The following three volumes explore issues pertaining to the generalizabil-ity of this method, the meaning of ‘case’, the appropriate methods for collecting data and how case study research enables ‘understanding’ and ‘explanation’. Together they form the most comprehensive collection of articles available in this important research method.

CONTENTS: VOLUME ONE

PART I: CLASSIC ARTICLES IN THE FOUNDING OF THE CASE STUDY TRADITION PART II: CASES IN ANTHROPOLOGY AND THE ETHNOGRAPHIC TRADITION PART III: THE SCOPE AND LIMITS OF GENERALIZATION AND CAUSAL EXPLANATION IN CASE STUDY RESEARCH VOLUME TWO
