If coupled with tutorial support, this will encourage students to work harder at the subject matter - always a challenge in what many students perceive as the least accessible and interesting part of psychology. It is well worth considering as a core methods text for undergraduates or for masters students new to psychology'- John Hegarty, "Times Higher Educational Supplement", Textbook Guide."Research Methods and Statistics in Psychology" is an accessible introduction to the principal research methods and statistical procedures that underpin psychological research.
