In Crippling Epistemologies and Governance Failures, Gilles Paquet criticizes the prevailing practices of the social sciences on the basis of their inadequate concepts of knowledge, evidence and inquiry, concepts he claims have become methodological "mental prisons."

In contrast, he suggests that social science and public policy should promote forms of "serious play" that would allow organizations to experiment...

The Decision Making Processes of Semi-commercial Farmers
ISBN: 9783639125306 / Angielski / Miękka / 376 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. To date little information is available for
describing the actual process of farmers reasoning processes in creating simple rules in their decision making. It is critical as farmers often use the rules as a means to deal with complex situations, particularly when subsistence is an issue. Farmers reasoning processes are also unlikely to be straightforward thus requiring approaches capable of capturing the intricacies of farmers thought patterns and paths. This book, therefore, offers an analysis using the Theory of Planned Behavior, Personal Construct Theory and Ethnographic Decision Tree... To date little information is available for

Performing Action: Artistry in Human Behavior and Social Research
ISBN: 9780765800169 / Angielski / Twarda / 350 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. In recent years the social sciences and the humanities have drawn closer to each other in thought and method. This rapprochement has led to new perceptions of human behavior by sociologists, as well as new methodological orientations. Sociologist Joseph R. Gusfield draws upon drama and fiction to show how human action is shaped by the formal dimensions of performance. Gusfield first defines the concept of behavior as artistic performance. He then analyzes routine and classic social research reports as literary performances in qualitative and quantitative terms. Next he moves to...

Testing Latent Variable Interaction Effect
ISBN: 9783639173666 / Angielski / Miękka / 124 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. The book discusses the effects of data nonnormality, model misspecification, sample size, and effect size on testing latent variable interactions through an inspection of the Joreskog and Yang's (1996) model. Mattson's (1997) method was used to generate nonnormal latent variables in this Monte Carlo study. One covariance parameter was deleted for investigating the influence of misspecified models. The simulation involved a balanced experimental design, with 3 2 3 3 = 54 combinations. Data analysis focused on bias of estimating parameters, standard errors, model fit indexes. Variance partition...

Quality of Life: Nomadological Insights
ISBN: 9783639201215 / Angielski / Miękka / 244 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. The meaning and value of quality of life has eluded researchers and philosophers for centuries. In this book I take the reader through a textual journey, so that it may be approached differently. Qualitative research chapters are alternated with those analysing the political and cultural background to their making. These texts are then woven into a deconstruction of quality of life in the five oppositional pairs of life and death, health and illness, independence and dependence, empowerment and disempowerment and certainty and uncertainty. This deconstructive thread informs and is...

Studies on the Abuse and Decline of Reason: Text and Documents Volume 13
ISBN: 9780226321097 / Angielski / Twarda / 344 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. "Studies on the Abuse and Decline of Reason" is a series of fascinating essays on the study of social phenomena. How to best and most accurately study social interactions has long been debated intensely, and there are two main approaches: the positivists, who ignore intent and belief and draw on methods based in the sciences; and the nonpositivists, who argue that opinions and ideas drive action and are central to understanding social behavior. F. A. Hayek's opposition to the positivists and their claims to scientific rigor and certainty in the study of human behavior is a running theme of...
