The book explores the technique of repeated surveys to analyze societal changes, focusing on distinguishing cohort, period, and age effects. It delves into methods for modeling aggregate trends, estimating the impact of cohort replacement, and presenting a decomposition model that clarifies the relationship between microchange and aggregate change. Additionally, it introduces simple models for assessing evolving individual-level effects, providing valuable insights for researchers in understanding demographic shifts and trends over time.

Suitable for students and those who want to take their technical skills for instructors who want a text for second methods course, this title teaches social scientists how to get out of their technical skills and tools, providing a resource that describes strategies and concepts no researcher or student of human behavior can do without.
