Synopsis

The new edition of "Experimental Methodology" retains an approach that details the research process and focuses on methodology. Each chapter considers a specific step in the research process, with opening vignettes providing examples of the relevance of the chapter contents. Key features include a new section on informed consent with an example of an informed consent form and a new sample research report - a 1992 publication on nightmares. New and expanded sections include survey methodology and ethical issues such as scientific misconduct, informed consent and the ethics of animal research.

A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

An introduction to the basic principles of psychological research (both experimental and non-experimental) with new coverage of qualitative research.

Known for its readability, Experimental Methodology is organized so that each chapter focuses on a specific step in the research process. The primary orientation of this text is toward providing instruction in the experimental approach, but an introduction to non-experimental approaches such as ex-post facto research, correlational research, and survey research is provided. Rather than dichotomizing psychological research into descriptive and experimental research, this edition takes the more current approach of using the quantitative and qualitative research dichotomy, presented in Chapter 2. Christensen also contains strong coverage of research ethics. Experimental Methodology can be accompanied by a lab manual.

Quatrième de couverture
