Beskrivning
This volume ambitiously applies sociological theory to create an understanding of aspects of survey methodology. It focuses on the interplay between sociology and survey methodology: what sociological theory and approaches can offer to survey research and vice versa. The volume starts with a focus on direct connections between sociological theories and their applications in survey research. It further presents cutting-edge, original research that applies the “sociological imagination” to substantive concerns important to sociologists, survey methodologists, and social scientists and includes issues such as health, immigration, race/ethnicity, gender and sexuality, and criminal justice.

Mer om författaren

Philip Brenner is a sociologist at the University of Massachusetts Boston where he works in the fields of survey methodology, health research, social psychology, and the sociology of religion. Brenner is particularly interested in the measurement of normative or socially-desirable behaviors, like church attendance and physical activity and exercise. His research has focused on the reasons survey respondents overreport these behaviors; that is, why they claim that they exercise when they don't or why they report that they attend church or pray more often than they do.
