This authoritative, yet accessible book presents the principal techniques of empirical behavioral research through a practical hands-on approach.

Additional techniques and tools such as simulation, trace and archival measures, content analysis, and case study are also presented. An extensive and up-to-date chapter describes the process of library and background research. In addition to clarifying and demystifying research, the text extends the discussion to the ethics of research, dissemination of information, public presentation, and the art of writing journal articles.
