Ideal for introduction to research methods or experimental psychology courses, this text integrates research methods and statistics thus enabling students to perform necessary calculations while providing a helpful review for students who have completed a statistics course. Each subject within the text is developed fully, providing students with a thorough account of the topic, rather than a superficial description. Each chapter utilizes two types of study questions: one is derived from factual content, and the other which is designed to encourage critical thinking and discussion.
