Description
Written for research methods and experimental design courses, this easy-to-understand, "hands-on" text uses actual cases to teach students the basic principles of experimental design. Over 100 cases are cited, drawn from professional literature and representing every major area of psychology, from animal studies to clinical observations and child psychology. Some cases are left for the student to analyze, actual experiments are analyzed in detail and design problems are included throughout the text. The fifth edition contains coverage of new ethical standards adopted by the American Psychological Association (APA), new sections on quasi-experimental studies and naturalist observations in Part One, a new chapter on methods for acquiring research data, a host of new articles in Part Two, and a section on basic statistics in the appendices.
