Synopsis

Test Yourself: Research Methods and Design in Psychology provides essential learning and practice through assessment for all undergraduate psychology students. It enables undergraduates in years 1 and 2 to assess their confidence and competence in this core knowledge domain, tackling the types of questions they will face in their formal university assessments. The book includes over 200 targeted multiple-choice and extended multiple-choice questions, carefully put together to assess depth of knowledge. At the end of each chapter sample essay questions are provided, along with further guidance, to complement the multiple-choice questions and further test understanding. In addition, information is provided to help students make sense of their results and identify strengths and weaknesses. The book on research methods and design includes chapters on: types of research, designing research studies, experimental design, case studies, observational methods, measuring attitudes, reliability and validity, qualitative approaches, ethics, and reporting research.
