Introduction to Research Methods and Statistics in Psychology

This text is a comprehensive and compact study of current research methods in psychology which explains statistical concepts and procedures. The range of common experimental and non-experimental methods is covered, along with an overview of the qualitative-quantitative debate. The tests covered are all those required by the current AEB syllabus. Each chapter deals with a different topic and ends with an exercise section to test material covered in that chapter. A detailed summary of each chapter and a glossary of key terms, which can be used as a self-test resource, are also included. In addition there are ten structured exercises, similar to A Level practical questions, at the end of the book. The book is suitable for A Level and first-year undergraduates of Psychology and GCSE Psychology students.
