Welcome to the Companion Site!

This site is intended to enhance your use of Methods of Research on Human Development and Families by Theodore N. Greenstein and Shannon N. Davis. Please note that all the materials on this site are especially geared toward maximizing your understanding of the material.

Methods of Research on Human Development and Families is an introduction to quantitative and qualitative research methods that teaches students how to be intelligent and critical consumers of research on families. This new book has been adapted from the author team’s previous SAGE text, Methods of Family Research, and includes applications and examples from both family science and human development research. With a focus on interpreting and understanding research techniques rather than doing research, this text illustrates how research on families is conducted and helps students gain the competence and confidence to effectively read, interpret, and critique published research reports.
