Isi artikel

The main purpose of this chapter is to discuss brie?y major methodologies used for the analysis of change. Throughout the development and maturation of approaches to measuring change, different types of change have been recognized and different methods of quantifying change have been developed. There is a colloquial reference to so-called old and new approaches to measuring change. ‘Old’ approaches refer to such conventional indicators of change as the differences between measures in a given time point and a subsequent time point. ‘New’ approaches refer to ever more complex methodologies for describing and quantifying development, whether spontaneous or occurring in response to intervention. Clearly, the amount of information on a subject studied by many outstanding scientists that can be introduced in a single chapter is limited. Moreover, a single chapter cannot compete with the comprehensive volumes that have recently been written on the same topic. Therefore, the strategy selected in this chapter for material presentation is to introduce brie?y selected methodological approaches, illustrate them with speci?c examples, and provide the reader with a wealth of relevant references.
