Download or read book Sourcebook of Family Theories and Methods written by Pauline Boss and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2008-11-19 with total page 747 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Origins We call this book on theoretical orientations and methodological strategies in family studies a sourcebook because it details the social and personal roots (i.e., sources) from which these orientations and strategies flow. Thus, an appropriate way to preface this book is to talk first of its roots, its beginnings. In the mid 1980s there emerged in some quarters the sense that it was time for family studies to take stock of itself. A goal was thus set to write a book that, like Janus, would face both backward and forward a book that would give readers both a perspec tive on the past and a map for the future. There were precedents for such a project: The Handbook of Marriage and the Family edited by Harold Christensen and published in 1964; the two Contemporary Theories about theFamily volumes edited by Wesley Burr, Reuben Hill, F. Ivan Nye, and Ira Reiss, published in 1979; and the Handbook of Marriage and the Family edited by Marvin Sussman and Suzanne Steinmetz, then in production.

Download or read book Child Psychology and Development written by Louis Peter Thorpe and published by . This book was released on 1962 with total page 648 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "This is a textbook for the undergraduate course in child psychology or growth and development of the child, whether it is taught in the department of psychology or in the department or school of education or home economics. It presents the essential concepts, findings, and interpretations upon which an objectively derived child psychology must be based. Using a broad eclectic approach, this volume emphasizes personal and social adjustments of the child at increasingly higher levels of development. It reviews recent findings and interpretations of physical, mental, and psychological growth, with special attention to environmental influences of the home, school, and community. Stress is placed on children's interests, play, and social activities. Selected quantitative materials and theoretical concepts dealing with such topics as emotion, intelligence, so-called instincts, dynamic needs, personality traits, and the like are included to provide background and review. Recent developments in child psychology have called for the inclusion of topics which were not offered in the previous edition of this book. Thus complete chapters have been devoted to psychosexual development, school and the learning process, and the characteristics of exceptional children. Other chapters have been combined in such a way as to be more concise and selective in their presentation. The original chapters dealing with intelligence and the nature-nurture issue, as well as those devoted to the development of language and of understanding, have been united in single chapters. Throughout, pertinent recent studies from social psychology and cultural anthropology have been related to the discussion. Finally, an attempt has been made in the present edition to avoid the growing practice of making texts in this field resemble reference works intensely packed with researches, names, facts, and other data which, although pleasing to the specialist, are too encyclopedic to motivate or inform undergraduate students. This is not to say that the facts, findings, and interpretations of child psychology and development have been neglected. Rather, the plan has been to present the literature in a flowing and easily interpreted account of its facts and findings, together with interpretations and applications to the rearing of children. For this reason, there is a minimum of mention of the names of research workers and others in the presentation of topics and findings, these names and their accompanying contributions having been reserved for inclusion in the appropriate footnotes, which in every case appear on the page concerned without breaking the flow of discussion"--Preface.

Download or read book Advancing Family Theories written by James M. White and published by SAGE Publications. This book was released on 2004-09-07 with total page 217 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Making a strong case for the importance of theory in social science, the author argues that theories on the family would assist understanding across cultural contexts and variations." —Savithri Subramanian, CONTRIBUTIONS TO INDIAN SOCIOLOGY "A perfect companion text for graduate courses on family theories. It is refreshing to have a single author pull no punches in articulating a viewpoint on where we have gone astray in family theory and how we can find our way again. Jim White has accomplished the nearly impossible mission of being informative, balanced, clear, and provocative at the same time."-William J. Doherty, University of Minnesota "Professor White has written a ′must-read′ book for anyone interested in family theory. This well-written and timely text . . . tackles difficult topics head on, offering pragmatic solutions and nicely nuanced insights. Advancing Family Theories is exactly the sort of book that lends itself well to both the classroom and more specialized theoretical and empirical work." -Jay Teachman, Western Washington University How can the study of families be scientific? What is the difference between postmodern and positivistic approaches? What is the role of models and metaphors in constructing our theoretical knowledge? In Advancing Family Theories, author James M. White addresses such difficult questions that have been longstanding issues within the field of family studies and examines these matters from a social science perspective. Advancing Family Theories explores two contemporary theories of the family-rational choice theory and transition theory. These diametrically different approaches illuminate what differing theories reveal about families. The book also discusses how meta-theories can assist in building and refining theory and offers insight on the "understanding versus explanation" debate. Advancing Family Theories gives students a precise notion of what a theory is and how theories work in research. The book not only looks at philosophical realms but also examines particular substantive theory to explain and predict family behaviors. Key Features Uses a theme of "models and metaphors" to unite what often seems to be conflicting approaches to theory and context Allows readers to view differing research as theoretical and complementary rather than competitive and exclusive Shows how to develop thesis research questions and how to identify theory relevant to substantive research interests Advancing Family Theories is designed for advanced undergraduate and graduate courses on family theory, research, and methods. It is an excellent supplement to Family Theories, Third Edition (SAGE, 2008), or is effective on its own. The book helps students with the task of taking abstract and very general theories and reducing them to a level of specific research models and hypotheses.

Book excerpt: First published in 1941, Deep South is the cooperative effort of a team of social anthropologists to document the economic, racial, and cultural character of the Jim Crow South through a study of a representative rural Mississippi community. Researchers Allison Davis, Burleigh B. Gardner, and Mary R. Gardner lived among the people of Natchez, Mississippi, as they investigated how class and caste informed daily life in a typical southern community. This Southern Classics edition of their study offers contemporary students of history a provocative collection of primary material gathered by conscientious and well-trained participant-observers, who found then, as now, intertwined social and economic inequalities at the root of racial tensions. Expanding on earlier studies of community stratification by social class, researchers in the Deep South Project introduced the additional concept of caste, which parsed a community through rigid social ranks assigned at birth and unalterable through life, a concept readily identifiable in the racial divisions of the Jim Crow South. As African American researchers, Davis and his wife, Elizabeth, along with his assistant St. Clair Drake, were able to gain unrivaled access to the black community in rural Mississippi, unavailable to their white counterparts. Through their interviews and experiences, the authors vividly capture the nuances in caste-enforcing systems of tenant-landlord relations, local government, and law enforcement. But the chief achievement of Deep South is its rich analysis of how the southern economic system, and sharecropping in particular, functioned to maintain rigid caste divisions along racial lines. In the new introduction to this edition, Jennifer Jensen Wallach situates this germinal study within the field of social anthropology and against the backdrop of similar community studies of the era. She also details the subsequent careers of this distinguished team of researchers.
