Description

---

Fully updated and revised from the first edition, Doing Research in Psychology is an accessible introduction to the principal research methods and statistical procedures that underpin psychological research. With broader coverage (3 new chapters) and expanded range of support materials and features it is the ideal textbook to accompany both a first and second year course. Doing Research in Psychology provides a carefully integrated understanding of the research process from the ground up and addresses an array of important issues that need to be confronted by students of psychology - issues to do with research goals, methodological choices and strategy, multiple approaches to statistical inference, and ethical controversies. Appendices at the back of the textbook are designed to help students put principles into practice - in conjunction with the accompanying website - including a step-by step guide to performing key statistical tests.
