Nothing has previously covered this area in single-volume format, but the timely emergence of \u003cb\u003eUsing Diaries for Social Research\u003c\/b\u003e recognizes the increased interest in and relevance of diary methodology within social research teaching. \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eEffectively combining theory, history and methodology, Alaszewski begins by discussing how diary keeping has developed; outlining the key features of the medium and examining the ways in which diaries have been and can be used for social research. He describes how suitable diaries and diarists can be identified by the researcher and, once found, how these diaries can be structured to generate research material. Finally, the researcher is taken through the analysis stage; examining statistical techniques, content-analysis and structure-analysis as effective methods of investigating diary texts. \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThis introductory student guide is an essential text for anyone involved in the area of social or historical research and for those working in the narrative tradition.\u003c\/p\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 144\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.32 x 9.22 x 6.06 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e January 01, 2006\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47385130664185,"sku":"9780761972914","price":165.24,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0789\/2782\/3097\/files\/MGVHRk5HK3ZaeXZReWlDNnRqT1dHdz09.webp?v=1770172156","url":"https:\/\/bookscloud.io\/products\/using-diaries-for-social-research-paperback","provider":"BooksCloud Book Dropshipping","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
