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.

Industry Reviews

"I feel that there is a sad lack of easily understandable research methodology books on the market, which is particularly concerning in HE where students are required to carry out their own research and countless research literature reviews...This book in comparison is very accessible, easy to understand and very user friendly with a very broad range of referencesto the particular concept the reader needs to know about, that can be dipped into or read through more thoroughly." -- Pauline Sumner, Middlesex University"
