Family Research Methods [Paperback]

Family researchers are developing ever more sophisticated methods for studying the family, yet few people have attempted to synthesize these methodological techniques. In this concisely-written work, Miller does just that. He describes the entire research process -- from design to data collection, sampling and data analysis -- to explain to undergraduates and first year graduate students just how family research is done.Family researchers are developing ever more sophisticated methods for studying the family, yet few people have attempted to synthesize these methodological techniques.
