QUALITATIVE RESEARCH METHODS FOR THE SOCIAL SCIENCES
- Share to:
In this, thefourth edition of Qualitative ResearchA1ethodsjor the Social Sciences, my goal remains identical to that of previous editions: to offer a handbook for any- one interested in but un:fumiliar with qualitative research methods. I continue to envision that this book will be used along with more general quantitative texts traditionally used in a research methods course as well as a stand-alone core text in courses on qualitative methods. Since the 1980s, the social sciences have developed a much more encompassing orientation toward research and have embraced qualitative techniques and texts in general research courses. TIlls book, as a supplement to other methods texts, offers students a basic look at qualitative research techniques and analytic strategies in a clear-cut fashion As a stand-alone text, Qualitative Research A1ethodsjor the Social Sciences offers stu- dents a solid grounding in many of the mainstream orientations commonly used in qualitative research today. In this edition, I have revised material in the text and focused greater attention on methodological rigor. The research style presented in this edition remains chiefly sociological. The application of data-gathering and data- analytic strategies, however, is not designed exclusively for students ofsoci- ology or for sociologists. In fuct, an increasing number of my readers have come from the disciplines of English, nursing, education, social work, and business, besides the more traditional social sciences such as psychology, anthropology, and criminology.
