The Use of Qualitative Methods in Family and Consumer Sciences
Rethinking Research Dichotomies
Much discussion concerning the research process has been conceptualized as either/or representations of complex issues. Research abstractions of insider/outsider perspectives, objectivity/subjectivity, and quantitative/qualitative methods have been unnecessarily dichotomized in the process. Pronouncements of absolutes and construction of hierarchies of methods have resulted, limiting both the kinds of questions that can be asked and the kinds of …
The Relationship of Remarriage to Post-Divorce Co-Parenting

A sample of 372 women and 277 men contacted three years after their divorce was used. Marital status was a statistically significant predic- tor for eight of the twelve regression analyses that were conducted for the women and men. The regression equations indicated that remar- riage was associated with less frequent co-pare…

METHODS. Twelve classes of 4- to 5-year-olds were recruited from local preschools and randomly assigned to an intervention group or a control group. The intervention group received an investigator-developed sun safety curriculum; the control …

Income adequacy was defined as the extent to which income provides a level of living which meets reasonable needs. Income adequacy was measured by ratios of income to income needs uding three indicators of income and th…
