“If there were a "Who′s Who" of outstanding teachers of psych, it would include most, or perhaps all, of the authors of the chapters of this bookThey are not only teachers, but also scholars of teaching, who have useful advice for both novice and experienced teachers of psychology.” -- Bill McKeachie
"The Psychology Research Handbook: A Primer for Graduate Students and Research Assistants, Second Edition, edited by Fred Leong and James Austin, fully fulfills its mission to provide graduate students with knowledge of the entire research process from thinking about research, formulating a design, conducting the research, and publishing a paper. But the book and its many contributors do much more. In explaining the research process to students, the authors help to demystify why things are done they way they are, to understand the logic of science, and to appreciate the research endeavor - tasks that are often not conveyed in graduate programs. The Handbook makes an important and valuable contribution to graduate education." -- Stanley Sue
