Synopsis

Appropriate for an introductory course emphasising experimental methodology in psychology, this text provides psychological research. It examines the ethical use of subject pools, ethics in program evaluation research, and nonlinear effects in the research of Hermann Ebbinghaus. It also contains eight case studies, that illustrate specific design or methodological points, boxes on disproving phrenology, and several statistical routines, including post hoc testing (Tukey's HSD test), effect size, and nonparametric testing (Mann-Whitney U Test). Furthermore, the section on reviewing literature has been rewritten to highlight the use of electronic databases, mainly PsycLit on CD-ROM.

A propos du livre

Quatrième de couverture

A CAREFUL BALANCE OF DETAIL IN A READABLE, ENGAGING STYLE!

HERE′S WHAT YOUR COLLEAGUES HAVE TO SAY ABOUT THE NEW THIRD EDITION:

"The writing style is wonderful! It is clear and engaging, as if he were talking directly to the students... Topics are covered very clearly, with a knack for pointing out the pitfalls in conducting or interpreting research." ––Margaret Ruddy, The College of New Jersey

"I like the author′s writing style including the level of the content material and its readability. ... I especially liked the Epilogue. I have never seen this type of presentation in any text. I felt it provided the students with a convenient "resting place" after the final chapter of the text,"–– William P. Smotherman, Binghamton University – SUNY

"This is the most complete and coherent synthesis of the most prominent issues in modern research methods. ... The author does a great job summarizing a broad, diversified, and contentious field."  –– Brad Smith, University of South Carolina

"Goodwin makes research sound interesting and even fun (a challenge for me and for other instructors of undergraduate students). ... I routinely ask my students to give ratings of the textbook on a 10 point scale, and the average rating given to Goodwin′s Second Edition is approximately a 9 .." –– Jason L. Hicks, Louisiana State University

"Coverage is good––some really important things are covered here that I′ve seen missing in other texts.––Thomas Joiner, Florida State University
