This comprehensive handbook examines the status of, and major issues related to, family measurement in India. To this end, the contributors critically review the existing standardised measures and the literature on the family and related topics, and present an overview of current approaches to family measurement within various social science disciplines. The second section of the book comprises abstracts of 94 indigenous tools to measure and assess variables related to family and marriage in India.
This pioneering and truly cross-disciplinary examination of measurement issues in family research in India will be an essential reference for scholars and professionals in a large number of fields including sociology, psychology, psychiatry, demography, human development and family studies, social work, and social science methodology.
