Summary

"In the fifth Canadian edition of Social Research Methods, Edward Bell has restructured and thoroughly updated the most trusted go-to research guide for undergraduates in the social sciences in order to better suit how social research is taught in Canada today. Guided by the text's practical, step-by-step advice, and numerous real-world examples, readers travel through all stages of the processes involved in quantitative and qualitative research, from formulating questions, choosing methods, and recruiting participants, to analysing the data and writing up the results. Accessible, engaging, and thorough, Social Research Methods offers students the conceptual foundations and practical skills they need to not only carry out their own social research, but also to think critically about studies conducted by other scholars."--
