Abstract:

"The SAGE Glossary of the Social and Behavioral Sciences is the first attempt to combine and compare terminology in nine separate social and behavioral science disciplines: communication, economics, education, geography, media studies, political sicence, psychology, public administration, and sociology. This glossary is necessary because the social and behavioral sciences have expanded and diversified rapidly over the past century. Many of the terms in social science research carry different meanings depending on the discipline."--BOOK JACKET.

Summary

The SAGE Glossary of the Social and Behavioral Sciences provides college and university students with a highly accessible, curriculum-driven reference work, both in print and on-line, defining the major terms needed to achieve fluency in the social and behavioral sciences. Comprehensive and inclusive, its interdisciplinary scope covers such varied fields as anthropology, communication and media studies, criminal justice, economics, education, geography, human services, management, political science, psychology, and sociology. In addition, while not a discipline, methodology is at the core of these fields and thus receives due and equal consideration. At the same time we strive to be comprehensive and broad in scope, we recognize a need to be compact, accessible, and affordable. Thus the work is organized in A-to-Z fashion and kept to a single volume of approximately 600 to 700 pages.
