Research Methods & Statistics in Psychology 4th Edition by Hugh Coolican

The new edition of this market-leading textbook has been updated and revised to embrace current developments in this area of psychology. It remains a comprehensive survey of research methods in psychology today, with clear and detailed explanations of statistical concepts and data analysis. It also covers the full range of experimental and non-experimental methods and explores the ongoing quantitative-qualitative debate among researchers. It reexamines issues surrounding validity--including confounds, quasi, field, and non-experiments, and includes a new section on ethnographic methods.

The new edition of Coolican's book is impressively wide-rangingIt introduces quantitative and qualitative research methods and guides the reader through the research process from the initial identification and formulation of a research question to the preparation of the final report. The style of presentation is informal and appropriate for A'level students and those in the early years of a psychology degree.
