Event History and Survival Analysis - Paul D. Allison - Bog - SAGE Publications Inc - Plusbog.dk

Event History and Survival Analysis - Paul D. Allison - Bog - SAGE Publications Inc - Plusbog.dk

Social scientists are interested in events and their causes. Although event histories are ideal for studying the causes of events, they typically possess two features—censoring and time-varying explanatory variables—that create major problems for standard statistical procedures. Several innovative approaches have been developed to accommodate these two peculiarities of event history data. This volume surveys these methods, concentrating on the approaches that are most useful to the social sciences. In particular, Paul D. Allison focuses on regression methods in which the occurrence of events is dependent on one or more explanatory variables. He gives attention to the statistical models that form the basis of event history analysis, and also to practical concerns such as data management, cost, and useful computer software. The Second Edition is part of SAGE’s Quantitative Applications in the Social Sciences (QASS) series, which continues to serve countless students, instructors, and researchers in learning the most cutting-edge quantitative techniques.

Woman Abuse on Campus - Martin D. Schwartz - Bog - SAGE Publications Inc - Plusbog.dk

Woman Abuse on Campus - Martin D. Schwartz - Bog - SAGE Publications Inc - Plusbog.dk

The disturbing prevalence of campus sexual assault shatters any illusion that post-secondary schools anywhere in North America are sanctuaries from the real world. Through an accessible overview of the recent Canadian National Survey on Woman Abuse in Dating Relationships, authors Walter S. DeKeseredy and Martin D. Schwartz expose a "hidden campus curriculum" that exists to maintain gender inequalities. Sexist messages, both subtle and implicit, not only foster an atmosphere of fear and insecurity but also serve as a powerful means of social control. Providing a wake-up call to North American college campuses, Woman Abuse on Campus opens up the doors for change by examining the incidence and prevalence of woman abuse in courtship, the reaction against women′s use of self-defense, factors that increase the risk of dating abuse, and education and awareness programs that respond to the problem. In order to influence policy changes, students, faculty, and administrators as well as other professionals will need to work together to inform not only themselves but others about the problem. As a tool to increase awareness and provide critical study findings, The Hidden Curriculum is an ideal supplementary text for courses in gender studies, criminology/criminal justice, sociology, social work, counseling/clinical psychology, family studies, education, and public health.

This compact and highly readable volume presents Spearman′s and Kendall′s rank correlation and coefficients, Kendall′s coefficients of concordance and of partial correlation, and several association measures for ordered contingency tables. . . . This inexpensive and lucid text offers a good introduction, or a quick review, of methods of rank correlation. It should prove beneficial to the practitioner who selects from and interprets the many measures produced by modern statistical packages. --Journal of the American Statistical Association When analyzing your data, how should you describe the relationship (or, association) between two or more sets of observations, i.e., values of two or more variables, when the variables are ordinal and not bivariate normal? Aimed at helping the researcher select the most appropriate measure of association for two or more variables, Jean Dickinson Gibbons clearly describes such techniques as Spearman′s rho, Kendall′s tau, Goodman & Kruskals′ gamma, and Somer′s d.

Learning from Resilient People - Morley D. Glicken - Bog - SAGE Publications Inc - Plusbog.dk

Learning from Resilient People - Morley D. Glicken - Bog - SAGE Publications Inc - Plusbog.dk

This comprehensive core textbook analyzes how resilient people navigate the troubled waters of life’s traumas and identifies how learning about resilience may help cultivate this quality in other, less resilient, people. Author Morley D. Glicken explains the inner self-healing processes of resilient people and helps individuals training in the helping professions to learn to use these processes in working with their clients. Key Features: - - Presents Current Research on Resilience : The most current data is provided on a variety of common physical, social, and emotional problems experienced by people and the way in which resilient people cope with those problems. In addition, an entire chapter summarizes what we know about resilience and how it can be applied to clinical practice. - - Provides Engaging Case Examples : Wonderful and honestly written stories from resilient people about how they cope so well with their traumas illustrate how therapy using resilience can work. From this perspective, therapy draws from strength rather than deficit or psychopathology. There is also a chapter on resilient communities, not often discussed in literature, which supports the idea that communities can help people increase their resilience. - - Examines Resilience Across the Life Cycle : The meaning and definitions of resilience is discussed as well as how it functions throughout the life cycle and through multiple life events. This book also clarifies the erroneous notion that resilient people are endlessly resilient and helps recognize resilience as an actual and real attribute, and not one that makes people seem super human. - Intended Audience: This is an ideal textbook for undergraduate and graduate courses in Psychology, Counseling, Social Work, Psychiatric Nursing, Marriage and Family Counseling, and Criminal Justice that teach direct practice techniques, approaches, and theories. It is also a valuable resource for practitioners, administrators, teachers, mental health workers, and family service agencies.?

Qualitative Data Collection Tools - Felice D. Billups - Bog - SAGE Publications Inc - Plusbog.dk

Qualitative Data Collection Tools is a new and unique supplementary text that will guide students and new researchers to design, develop, pilot, and employ qualitative tools in order to collect qualitative data. An often-omitted subject in general qualitative textbooks, qualitative tools form the backbone of the data collection process. Students and new researchers are frequently left to create their own qualitative tools from scratch, an unnecessary hurdle in the qualitative research design process. Author Felice D. Billups has used her experience as a qualitative researcher, and in teaching and advising students about qualitative research, to develop the templates in this book as a starting point for readers conducting original qualitative research. The author briefly describes each method of data collection and offers readers suggestions for using and adapting the qualitative instrument templates within the text. Templates of interview protocols, focus group moderator guides, content analysis tools, document analysis tools, reflective questionnaires, diary and journal logs, and observational rubrics give the reader either a cut-and-paste solution for their own research or a starting point to design their own personalized qualitative tools. The first three chapters illuminate the qualitative data collection process and the role each type of qualitative tool plays in that process. The next six chapters provide detailed guides and numerous templates for each qualitative data collection method, covering interviews, focus groups, conversation and discourse analysis, observations, document analysis, field notes, journaling, and other reflective practices. A final chapter pulls together the multifaceted nature of qualitative research design and connects each tool back to the methodology to ensure trustworthiness and rigor in the data collection and instrument development process. Exemplars populate the appendices, offering readers concrete inspiration for ways to use and adapt the tools provided. If you have ever puzzled over how to best to design qualitative tools in order to guide and structure your qualitative data collection, or if you are embarking on your first qualitative study, Qualitative Data Collection Tools will give you a practical starting point to help make your qualitative data collection process easier and more organized.
