Document Summary
Experimental research: involves the use of control and test groups: participants are subjects, test group: give them something from the control group - monitor the results. Archival/secondary research: content analysis, etc of experiences, policies, history of children, youth, adolescents, etc. Mixed methods: combination of qualitative and quantitative, etc, can take on a number of different forms, many use this approach because we feel like we might be missing something if we only use on methodological focus. 1. quantitative methods: survey research, longitudinal studies example: studying rates of socialization, looking at experiences children have, you hit certain life markers (age 5,10,15) information becomes quantifiable because you find the information using survey and other numerical ways. New sociology of childhood interpretive in nature - focus on seeing children as co creators in their world society is created and recreated by children - part of that structure and recognize it have agency.
