Continuity and change have been major concerns of the social and
behavioral sciences -- in the study of human development and in the
study of processes that unfold in various ways across time. There
has been a veritable explosion of techniques for studying change
over time which have fundamentally changed how we need to think of
and study change. Unfortunately, many of the old precepts and
beliefs are still among us.
The field of methodology for the study of change is itself ready
to change. Recently, there have been many analytic and conceptual
developments questioning our cherished beliefs about the study of
change. As such, how are individuals to think about issues and
correctly analyze change? The chapters in this volume address these
issues.
Divided into two sections, this book deals with designs that
analyze change in multiple subjects, and with change in single
subjects and an interacting system. Papers presented in this volume
are accessible to scientists who are not methodologists. The
character of the papers are more like primers than basic treatises
on methodology, written for other methodologists. It is time that
people stop thinking in rigid ways about how to study change and be
introduced to a range of many possibilities. Change, stability,
order and chaos are elusive concepts. The pursuit of the laws of
change must be approached in as flexible and creative a fashion as
possible. This book should help to lead the way.
