Handbook of Survey Research provides an introduction to the theory and practice of sample survey research. It addresses both the student who desires to master these topics and the practicing survey researcher who needs a source that codifies, rationalizes, and presents existing theory and practice. The handbook can be organized into three major parts. Part 1 sets forth the basic theoretical issues involved in sampling, measurement, and management of survey organizations. Part 2 deals mainly with''hands-on,''how-to-do-it issues: how to draw theoretically acceptable samples, how to write questionnaires, how to combine responses into appropriate scales and indices, how to avoid response effects and measurement errors, how actually to go about gathering survey data, how to avoid missing data (and what to do when you cannot), and other topics of a similar nature. Part 3 considers the analysis of survey data, with separate chapters for each of the three major multivariate analysis modes and one chapter on the uses of surveys in monitoring overtime trends. This handbook will be valuable both to advanced students and to practicing survey researchers seeking a detailed guide to the major issues in the design and analysis of sample surveys and to current state of the art practices in sample surveys. "The Handbook of Survey Research, Second Edition, builds on its widely-recognized 1983 predecessor edited by Peter H. Rossi, James D. Wright, and Andy B. Anderson. Wright, together with Peter V. Marsden, assembled this edition. A new introductory chapter reviews the development of survey research, and highlights new directions and expansion of the field during the past quarter century. Subsequent chapters, all but two entirely new to this edition, provide comprehensive coverage of survey research methods." "Editors Marsden (Department of Sociology at Harvard University and a Co-Principal Investigator of the General Social Survey) and Wright (Department of Sociology at the University of Central Florida where he directs the Institute for Social and Behavioral Sciences, and the long-time editor of Elsevier's journal Social Science Research) significantly enlarged this edition to reflect the vast changes and growth in the survey research industry over the past three decades. In addition to updated material on central survey processes including sampling, measurement theory, and questionnaire construction, the new Edition includes new chapters on such topics as total survey error, ethical considerations in conducting surveys, power analysis, the psychology of survey response, specific survey modes (mail, telephone, Internet, and mixed-mode surveys), linking survey data to GIS and administrative data, cross-national and cross-cultural surveys, archiving and dissemination, and many others." "Comprehensiveness and depth of coverage distinguish the Handbook of Survey Research, Second Edition, from other texts. Timely and relevant, it includes emerging topics that are only now becoming highly salient within the industry. An authoritative reference book providing extensive coverage of the field, the Handbook is a vital resource for social scientists and students who conduct or plan to conduct survey research."--Jacket.
