Edición de la obra Key Concepts In Social Research Methods

"Did you know that there are at least twenty-two different ways of saying that consciousness is organised, five terms for a regression line and seven for the normal distribution? The ever-expanding field of social research has become inundated with newly invented terms, many of them synonyms. From the more traditional terminology to the very latest expressions, this is the essential guide to understanding the fundamental concepts of social research methods." "Easy to dip in and out of, this comprehensive glossary will provide you with a guide to the meaning of terms from both qualitative and quantitative methodology in the social sciences." "Features include broad and extensive list of entries structured in alphabetical order for quick reference; the entries assume little previous knowledge and are closely cross-referenced; and sources of further information including free-to-view internet sites."--Jacket.
