The Elements of Inquiry covers the basic guidelines for graduate
students doing an investigation or inquiry project. It distils the
rubrics necessary for teaching research methods and completing
research projects, and gives the student researcher a list of steps
to follow to complete any type of inquiry project - including
formal research projects such as doctoral dissertations. It was
written to support the work of students in an educational
leadership doctoral program, but it will also assist the research
efforts of college students at any level in any discipline. The
book begins by establishing the underlying philosophical concepts
upon which all good research is based, preparing students to get
down to the "nuts and bolts" of conducting their own research and
evaluating the research of others. Fundamental concepts and rules
of research are explained both for producers and consumers of
social science and educational research. Numerous practical
examples illustrate the steps in the research process presented in
the text. There are end-of-chapter exercises for students to apply
the concepts discussed in the chapter. Templates for organizing and
presenting research provide students with a game plan for success
with their research. The book ends with an up-to-date annotated
bibliography of beginning and advanced research texts allowing
students easy access to books that detail the more specialized
research topics. While most research books detail one or more
method in depth, this text provides a broad introduction to many
techniques and models used in doctoral dissertations, and will be
of particular value to those who are consumers of inquiry studies
and research reports. Key to the overview provided is the annotated
bibliography that leads the reader to the next stage of
understanding or doing research.
This volume is presented in four sections based on recent
research in the field: the sources of identity, the tie between
identity and the social structure, the non-cognitive outcomes -
such as emotional - of identity processes, and the idea that
individuals have multiple identities. This timely work will be of
interest to social psychologists in sociology and psychology,
behavioral scientists, and political scientists.

This text, first published in 2006, presents the most important and
influential social psychological theories and research programs in
contemporary sociology. Original chapters by the scholars who
initiated and developed these theoretical perspectives provide full
descriptions of each theory and its background, development, and
future. This second edition has been revised and updated to reflect
developments within each theory, and in the field of social
psychology more broadly. The opening chapters of Contemporary
Social Psychological Theories cover general approaches, organized
around fundamental principles and issues: symbolic interaction,
social exchange, and distributive justice. Following chapters focus
on specific research programs and theories, examining identity,
affect, comparison processes, power and dependence, status
construction, and legitimacy. A new, original piece examines the
state and trajectory of social network theory. A mainstay in
teaching social psychology, this revised and updated edition offers
a valuable survey of the field.

All people derive particular identities from their roles in
society, the groups they belong to, and their personal
characteristics. Introduced almost thirty years ago, identity
theory is a social psychological theory in the field of sociology
that attempts to understand identities, their sources in
interaction and society, their processes of operation, and their
consequences for interaction and society. The theory brings
together in a single framework the central roles of both meaning
and resources in human interaction and purpose.
This book describes identity theory, its origins, the research that
supports it, and its future direction. It covers the relation
between identity theory and other related theories as well as the
nature and operation of identities. In addition, the book discusses
the multiple identities that individuals hold from their multiple
positions in society and organization as well as the multiple
identities activated by many people interacting in groups and
organizations. And, it covers the manner in which identities offer
both stability and change to individuals. Co-authored by the
developers of the theory, this book accessibly presents decades of
research in a single volume, making the full range of this powerful
new theory understandable to readers at all levels.
Introduces methods for quantitative assessment of relationships among categoric variables in multivariable crosstabulations. Procedures to estimate and interpret effect parameters for hierarchical models are described for both the general loglinear model and its logit version.
