Third Edition |
| About
the book
|
| This third edition of the bestselling
Research Methods in Psychology still retains its
status as one of the most accessible, practically
useful and theoretically rigorous textbooks on
the market today. |
| In light of recent
methodological developments, this new edition
has been significantly revised and restructured.
It is now oriented around three parts focusing
on the major processes in conducting research
– the bases of research, data gathering
and data treatment. A rich diversity of methods
is presented by a psychologist with detailed knowledge
of their practical application. Extended coverage
of qualitative methods is also a significant addition,
which is fundamental on psychological methods
courses. |
| Research Methods in Psychology,
third edition, is essential because:
• Its new structure maps onto Methods
in Psychology courses more comprehensively,
making it an invaluable teaching/study resource.
• It has a wide range of student features
- more illustrative case study material, updated
examples from current research to illustrate
recent developments in methods and techniques,
highlighted key words, chapter summaries and
further reading sections.

The book is for all methods students in psychology and those in neighbouring
disciplines looking for an authoritative resource.
