On Social Research and Its Language
The eighteen essays in On Social Research and Its Language illustrate the diversity of Lazarsfeld's substantive, methodological, and organizational interests. Spanning the years 1933 to 1972, they encompass his own works of social research, as well as writings on methodology and the history and sociology of social research. Articles on methodology--observing, classifying and building typologies, analyzing the relations between variables, qualitative analysis, and macrosociology--form the bulk of the book. In addition, Raymond Boudon provides a revealing biography of Lazarsfeld and his influence on sociology.--Publisher description.
Marienthal
"One of the main theses of the Marienthal study was that prolonged unemployment leads to a state of apathy in which the victims do not utilize any longer even the few opportunities left to them. The vicious cycle between reduced opportunities and reduced level of aspiration has remained the focus of all subsequent discussions." So begin the opening remarks to the English-language edition of what has become a major classic in the literature of social stratification.
Paul Lazarsfeld's Research Methodology
Paul Lazarsfeld is one of the founders of the field of empirical social research. He gained recognition in the development of data collection and analysis. He pioneered market surveys and public opinion polls and founded mass media research, as well as communication research. He examined ideology leaders, interpersonal communication, unemployment, election preferences formation, as well as threats to academic liberties. This book presents Paul Lazarsfeld's work in a unique way, in all of the above mentioned fields of applied social research. It consists of three parts - biography, an overview of methods and survey strategies, with which Lazarsfeld enriched modern methodology, and chapters devoted to his most famous surveys of media, unemployment and election behaviour. The book is published in English.
