Writing a Successful Thesis or Dissertation : Tips and Strategies for Students in the Social and Behavioral Sciences
We have written this book to help graduate students write the dissertation from beginning to end successfully. Our goal is to provide advice to those learning how to write the major elements (sections) of a dissertation. Thus, in each chapter of the book, we provide specific information about sections commonly found in dissertations, such as how to write research questions or hypotheses, how to select a sample for the study, how to write descriptions of instruments, how to write results of data analyses, how to interpret the results, and so forth. Our goal is to define and explain the rationale for the common elements (sections) of each chapter of the dissertation. Then we support our advice with numerous examples to illustrate how previous doctoral students have written those sections. The model we use is the traditional five-chapter dissertation. We realize that there are many variations to this model. Students and faculty who are chairing dissertations should feel free to modify the approach to reflect advising style, unique subject area, and institutional requirements. This book should be of special interest to students in the social and behavioral sciences, including education, psychology, social work, and business. Its contents should be applicable also to those studying nursing and other health sciences with a behavioral base, certain aspects of anthropology, sociology, and criminal justice. Other students will find the book useful as a dissertation guide. As mentioned previously, our approach is applicable also to writing master's theses. The book can be used as the principal text in courses focused on writing the dissertation or master's thesis. It may be used also as a supplementary text in seminars that introduce students to graduate education or in research methods courses, particularly those in the social and behavioral sciences.
