Human Development and Family Science (HDFS) is an interdisciplinary
and applied field that draws from developmental science, family
science, and other social sciences. Research Foundations of Human
Development and Family Science is a textbook that provides an
introduction to the diverse scientific research methods that form
the foundation of scholarship and practice in HDFS. In Part I,
Kathleen D. Dyer explores science. She distinguishes empirical
scientific research from common sense and from knowledge gained
from personal experience. This section also includes a discussion
of the strategies used by pseudoscience to exploit the
well-deserved credibility of science, providing relevant examples.
Part II examines systematic empiricism through sampling and
measurement. HDFS scholars use a wide array of measurement tools,
including self-report (interviews, questionnaires, and self-report
tasks), observations (participant, naturalistic, and structured),
objective tests, physiological measures, and several types of
archival records. Part III introduces the use of study design to
achieve falsifiability in scientific research, including an
overview of various orientations to time used in research as well
as four different study designs: qualitative, prevalence,
correlational, and experimental. Finally, Part IV addresses the
public verifiability of science, including how scientific consensus
is developed, the use of literature reviews to identify convergence
of evidence, and how scientific literacy translates into
evidence-based professional practice. Illustrated throughout with
studies foundational to the discipline as examples of the
strategies described in the text, Research Foundations for Human
Development and Family Science is a comprehensive, accessible core
textbook for undergraduate research methods classes in HDFS. It
introduces the discipline of HDFS and challenges students to
understand the limitations of common sense and the threat of
pseudoscience for those work professionally with children and
families.
A wide-ranging compilation of techniques, Extrapolation Practice
for Ecotoxicological Effect Characterization of Chemicals describes
methods of extrapolation in the framework of ecological risk
assessment. The book, informally known as EXPECT, identifies data
needs and situations where these extrapolations can be most
usefully applied, making it a practical guide to the application of
extrapolation procedures. It focuses on the extrapolation of
chemical effects and covers the extrapolation of exposures in the
context of interactions between toxicants and the matrix.

Hardbound. As we approach the new millennium, the field of
strategic HRM is still in its infancy. This volume provides a
glimpse into the future of strategic HRM research as seen through
the eyes of a number of leading researchers. The 21st century
presents the opportunity for advancing our understanding of the
role of people in organizational success. This volume will provide
a strong foundation toward that end.
