Description
Emphasizing student learning, this text takes a "user-friendly" approach to the subject of research methods in psychology. Stress is placed on problem-solving and the book covers descriptive, experimental and applied research methods. Statistical principles are integrated throughout. Two new chapters to this edition - ethical issues in the conduct of psychological research and analysis of experiments - reflect current trends in the field. Presentation of research methods is based on actual research examples chosen from a variety of topic areas, including clinical, industrial, social, developmental and experimental psychology. The work also provides an overview of the scientific method, including the construction and testing of theories.
