Hi, I was wondering if someone could possibly help me out here
I'm basically looking for a study to help support my coursework hypothesis,
[b]Cocket, M. & Tripp, J. (1994). The Exeter family study: Family breakdown and its impact on children (University Report). University of Exeter, Exeter, U.K. [/b]
I'm looking for that particular study, and can't seem to find it ..hmm anyone here that can be of some assistance to me?
I find only websites that cite this study, not the study itself.
You should check with your reference librarian in case your library has a subscription to a particular database that will have this study in it.
If you are unable to find the specific study you are looking for, here are a few suggestions to assist you in your search:
1. Search in academic databases: Utilize online databases such as Google Scholar, JSTOR, or EBSCOhost. These databases contain a vast collection of scholarly articles and papers that may include the study you are looking for.
2. Contact the authors: Consider reaching out to the authors directly. You can either find their contact information through professional networking platforms or look for their affiliation and contact them through their university or organization. Authors are usually willing to share their research or provide additional resources.
3. Check research institutions or university libraries: Explore the website of the University of Exeter or research institutions related to the topic of the study. Their online library may have a digital copy or provide information on accessing it.
4. Collaborate with a reference librarian: Reference librarians are trained to help individuals find reliable sources of information. Contact your local library or academic institution, and they can assist you in searching for the study you need.
Remember that some studies may be accessible only through paid access, especially if they are published in academic journals. In such cases, it may be necessary to consider alternative sources or options for accessing the study, such as interlibrary loan services or requesting a copy directly from the author.
