Synopsis

Un guide pour le processus de recherche est introduit dans le deuxième chapitre et renforcé au fur et à mesure que chaque méthode est introduite. L'utilisation d'un cadre cohérent permet aux élèves de voir le point commun de chaque méthode, ce qui rend les méthodes suivantes plus faciles à apprendre. Essentials est basé sur le texte de la 5e édition réussie des méthodes de recherche en psychologie des mêmes auteurs. Ce texte a été entièrement réécrit dans un style plus conversationnel, y compris l'utilisation de dessins animés et des idées de chercheurs décrivant comment ils ont mené des études pour plaire aux étudiants ayant peu d'expérience mathématique. Les études de cas sont utilisées pour montrer l'utilisation de méthodes appropriées et les considérations éthiques inhérentes au processus de recherche. Ce texte de poche de 250 pages est idéal pour un collège communautaire ou pour une université de quatre ans où une brève couverture est souhaitée.

A propos du livre

Biographie de l'auteur

Jeanne S. Zechmeister is Associate Professor of Psychology at Loyola University of Chicago where she has taught undergraduate and graduate courses in research methodology since 1990. Professor Zechmeister completed her B.A. at University of Wisconsin-Madison (1983) and her M.S. (1988) and Ph.D. (1990) in Clinical Psychology at Northwestern University. Her current research interests are in the area of psychology of religion, and she is conducting research on forgiveness. Her effectiveness as a teacher is evidenced by her many years of high teacher ratings and by her being identified consistently each year by graduating seniors as one of their best teachers at Loyola. She also authored, with J.S. Shaughnessy and E.B. Zechmeister, Research Methods in Psychology (5th edition; McGraw-Hill, 2000).

Eugene B.

He later received both his M.S. (1968) and Ph.D. (1970) from Northwestern University. A specialist in the field of human cognition, Professor Zechmeister authored, with S.E. Nyberg, Human Memory: An Introduction to Research and Theory (Brooks/Cole, 1982), and with J.E. Johnson, Critical Thinking: A functional Approach (Brooks/Cole, 1992). He is a Fellow of both the American Psychological Association (Divisions 1,2, and 3) and the American Psychological Society. In 1994, he was awarded the Loyola University Sujack Award for Teaching Excellence in the College of Arts and Sciences.

After completing the B.S. degree at Loyola University of Chicago in 1969, he received his Ph.D. in 1972 from Northwestern University. He is a Fellow of the American Psychological Society whose recent research has focused on practical aspects of memory. He is coauthor, with Benton J. Underwood, of Experimentation in Psychology (Wiley, 1975).

Présentation de l'éditeur

Essentials of Research Methods in Psychology by Jeannne S. Zechmeister, Eugene B. Zechmeister, and John J. Shaughnessy is designed to teach students the process of research (developing research ideas, forming a hypothesis, choosing a design, selecting the appropriate method, collecting, interpreting and reporting the results). A guide for the research process is introduced in the second chapter and reinforced as each method is introduced. The use of a consistent framework allows students to see the commonality of each method making the subsequent methods easier to learn. Essentials is based on the successful Research Methods in Psychology 5th edition text by the same authors. This text was completely rewritten in a more conversational style including the use of cartoons and insights from researchers describing how they conducted studies to appeal to students with little mathematical background. Case studies are used to show the use of appropriate methods and the ethical considerations inherent in the research process. This 250 page paperback text is ideal for a community college or for a four year university where brief coverage is desired.
