How To Write in Psychology by John R Beech
Through the use of clearly defined instructions and examples, How to Write in Psychology is a concise and comprehensive guide for the well-prepared student on the principles of writing essays and research papers for psychology. Presents everything the well-prepared student needs to know about the principles and practice of writing for psychology Compares and contrasts the different writing requirements and techniques for essays and research reports in psychology Offers advice on constructing figures and producing properly formatted graphs and tables Includes exercises to improve grammar, style, and critical awareness Provides checklists, tips for getting started, and examples of a properly written essay and lab report
In the average psychology degree, there's a whole lot of writing to be done, and much of it is very stylistically prescribed, and the student new to psychology has to quickly develop and use a new vocabulary and understand the demands of examinations, essays, experimental reports, and longer works such as final-year research projectsFurthermore, even research reports differ, depending on whether they are write-ups of quantitative or qualitative research, and so on.
This book is clear, well-structured, readable, enjoyable and highly informative. Given that students have a lot to learn in the course of their studies, any book that propels them forward has to be welcomed. There are hundreds of volumes on writing, a handful of which are focused on writing in psychology. This, in my opinion, is by far the best of them.
Mark Forshaw, Staffordshire University
