The state of the art in family economics/home management research was as sessed. An analysis of research in the areas of consumer, consumption, and family economics/household management, published during the period 1972–82 in four journals revealed a fairly even distribution of articles across the four major topic areas. The majority of articles reported studies that used survey method ology, while a few studies used experimental design. A variety of statistical methods were observed, with multiple regression being the most frequently used. Articles were organized by topic, journal, statistical analysis, etc. to expe dite the work of researchers, teachers, and graduate students interested in lo cating examples of a particular source, methodology, or analysis.
