Encyclopedia of Measurement in Social Sciences, Second Edition, Four Volume Set describes the research questions social scientists ask, the sources and methods they use to collect information, and the techniques they use to analyze these data and identify answers. Topics cover all phases of the research process and run the gamut from basic designs to complex statistical modeling techniques. The book's authors offer expert, accessible explanations of the steps necessary to accomplish measurement goals, as well as practical advice on how to overcome likely obstacles. Each section includes entries that illustrate important measurement strategies with actual research experiences from diverse fields of study.

Good science is a cumulative process, and this new edition also includes entries explaining recent advances and new sources of data. In addition to being relevant to all fields of social science, the book's entries are written to be accessible to readers who are being introduced to research as well as seasoned investigators who are seeking new “tools” for their studies.
