The bestselling introduction to research methods, offering unrivalled coverage of both
quantitative and qualitative methods to support students through the whole research
process.
Clear, comprehensive, and trusted, Bryman's Social Research Methods has guided over a quarter of a million students through their research methods course and student research project. The seventh edition offers unrivalled coverage of quantitative, qualitative, and mixed methods, reflecting today's evolving landscape.
Key Features:
- Exceptionally comprehensive but practical and student-friendly, offering clear and complete coverage of all the key areas of social research methods.
- Clear theoretical explanations in the main text are enhanced by 'Key concept' boxes, which summarize important terms and processes, and 'Thinking deeply' boxes, which encourage students to go further in considering an issue or debate.
- Numerous examples of published research, in 'Research in focus' boxes, help bridge the gap between theory and practice. Spanning cultures, geographies, and academic disciplines, these studies reflect the breadth of issues explored in social science: they cover a huge range of topics, from climate change, ageing, and gender, to true-crime podcasts, gambling, and exorcisms.
- Students seeking practical guidance for conducting their own research can hone in on punchy 'Tips and skills' boxes, end-of-chapter 'Checklists', and 'Learn from experience' boxes in which recent graduates share insights from their research into a variety of fascinating topics - including social media attitudes towards the LGBT+ community, and the experiences of Pakistani Muslim single mothers.
- Also available as an e-book enhanced with self-assessment activities and multi-media content to offer a fully immersive experience and extra learning support. Extensive digital resources help students grasp key concepts and develop practical research skills. They include multiple choice questions, quantitative self-test activities, videos from the 'Learn from experience' graduates, and screencast tutorials for the main data analysis software programmes (Excel, SPSS, Nvivo, R, and Stata).
