Description
This text displays the authors' commitment to ensuring that the student has a thorough understanding of the research process from the very beginning. Using contemporary examples from primary sources, RESEARCH METHODS IN PSYCHOLOGY, Seventh Edition encourages students to be come engaged in the basics of scientific investigation through an example-based approach. This highly readable text avoids the heavy statistical tone that some introductory students find difficult to understand. Rather, RESEARCH METHODS IN PSYCHOLOGY is conceptually driven to offer students a big picture view of the experimental approach to research. Empirical examples and applications are consistently used throughout to foster critical thinking skills. In many chapters, a unifying empirical example at the beginning of the chapter is cited throughout the chapter to help clarify terms or design problems. By presenting concepts with concrete examples, the text aids students in applying related ideas to their areas of research interest.

Media Reviews
The topics are covered in just the right depth for my students. The beginning students aren't overwhelmed with extremely complex designs or undefined terminology that is unfamiliar to them. However, the important topics are covered in enough depth that the students actually do have a basic understanding of how to design, conduct, and critically read research by the end of the course.
The key strengths are readability, good coverage at the level I need, chapter exercises, and the repetition of the important concepts.
The changes made for APA style standards, particularly for graphs and reference formats, are helpful and up-to-date.
