Research Methods in Psychology Summary

Research Methods in Psychology: Evaluating a World of Information by Beth Morling (University of Delaware)

This market-leading text emphasises future consumers of psychological research, uses real-world examples drawn from popular media and develops students' critical-thinking skills as they become systematic interrogators of information in their everyday lives.

Research Methods in Psychology Reviews

This book weaves the threads of research design, psychometrics, and quantitative analysis in a way that suggests that students may actually see the 'big picture', rather than just feel like they are learning a series of unrelated concepts, principles, and designs. -- Eva Szeli, Arizona State University Rarely have I read a text with such a succinct and clear focus, and even more rarely have I seen that focus clung to with such tenacity-adding coherence and a common vernacular across chapters. -- Lauren Taglialatela, Kennesaw State University
