The Second Edition of The SAGE Handbook of Applied Social
Research Methods provides students and researchers with the most
comprehensive resource covering core methods, research designs, and
data collection, management, and analysis issues. This thoroughly
revised edition continues to place critical emphasis on finding the
tools that best fit the research question given the constraints of
deadlines, budget, and available staff. Each chapter offers
guidance on how to make intelligent and conscious tradeoffs so that
one can refine and hone the research question as new knowledge is
gained, unanticipated obstacles are encountered, or contextual
shifts take place.
Each chapter has been enhanced pedagogically to include more
step-by-step procedures, more practical examples from various
settings to illustrate the method, parameters to define when the
method is most appropriate and when it is not appropriate. The
editors also include numerous graphs, models, tip boxes to provide
teaching and learning tools.
