It is an excellent short introduction to issues of time, suitable
for advanced undergraduate or graduate research methods course
focusing on experimental and quasi-experimental designs. . . . An
interesting introduction to the issues as seen by experimental
social psychologists. . . . I'd recommend the book to any
sociologists struggling with time-dependency issues. --Contemporary
Sociology "This slim volume is rich in ideas which can be employed
to clarify implicit and explicit theorising about time in
sociological research methods. Similarly, used creatively and
imaginatively, some of its considerations of experimental design
and practice might be usefully transposed into the design and
conduct of social surveys and field research." --The Journal of the
British Sociological Association On Time and Method provides the
first systematic, detailed examination of the impact of time on
research methods. This original volume analyzes all the ways
temporal factors can effect research results and interpretations,
and explains how research can be strengthened by paying attention
to such factors. This unique work first provides a theoretical
base, laying out the interplay of temporal issues on the strategic,
design, and operational levels of research. It then provides
extended examples of the ways such factors operate in real-world
research, and their consequences for such research programs. It
closes with a collection of proven techniques and approaches which
researchers can use to remove, reduce, or compensate for temporal
effects. This cogent work provides valuable insights for all social
scientists, and is essential reading for students of research
methods.
