Crisp Sets and Boolean Algebra: A Research Strategy for Student Affairs
Banning, James; Eversole, Barbara; Most, David; Kuk, Linda
College Student Journal, v42 n3 p847-852 Sep 2008
A review of student affairs journals clearly points out that most, if not all, research strategies within the field fall within traditional approaches based on quantitative methods and, more recently, qualitative methods. The purpose of this article is not to discourage use of these time honored research strategies, but to suggest the inclusion of a method using crisp sets and Boolean algebra as a research strategy, and to illustrate this method by example, and to discuss how this method can be of value to student affairs researchers. (Contains 1 table.)
