Research Design in Aging and Social Gerontology provides a review
of methodological approaches and data-collection methods commonly
used with older adults in real-life settings. It addresses the role
of normative age-related sensory, cognitive, and functional
changes, as well as the influence of generational cohort
(age-period-cohort) upon each design. It discusses the role of
older adults as true co-researchers; issues uniquely related to
studies of persons residing in community-based, assisted, skilled,
and memory-care settings; and ethical concerns related to cognitive
status changes. The text concludes with detailed guidelines for
improving existing data collection methods for older persons and
selecting the best fitting methodologies for use in planning
research on aging. Features of Research Design in Aging and Social
Gerontology include: Descriptions and evaluations of a wide range
of methodological approaches, and methods used to collect data
about older persons (quantitative, qualitative, mixed, and emergent
methods: photovoice, virtual environments, etc.) Ways to match
research questions to selection of method without a preconceived
methodological preference or dominance Real-world and applied
examples along with cases from the gerontological literature "How
to" sections about reading output/software reports and
qualitative-analysis screenshots (from ATLAS.ti) and quantitative
(SPSS) output and interpretation Pedagogical tools in every chapter
