Research Methods and Statistics in Psychology

Coolican, Hugh

Edward Arnold

This new edition has been sustantially revised and updated, and provides a comprehensive survey of current research methods in psychology today, clearly explaining statistical concepts and procedures. The full range of common experimental and non-experiemental methods are covered in depth, along with an integration of the contemporary qualitative-quantitative debate among psychological researchers. Additions in the qualitative arena include discussions on discursive psychology, reflexivity, verbal protocols and the transcription of recorded speech. In the statistical sections, ANOVA procedures (including multi-factorial designs), multi-level non-parametric tests, and a brief introduction to complex tests (MANOVA, ANCOVA and multiple regression) are all covered, and basic procedural methods have been completely updated. Each chapter deals with a different topic, and ends with an exercise section to test material covered in that chapter. A detailed summary of each chapter and a glossary of key terms, which can be used as a self-test resource, are also included. The ten structured exercises, similar to A-level practical questions, at the end of the book, have been completely revised.

Introduction to Research Methods and Statistics in Psychology

This well established book selects various themes in psychology, places them into context and then discusses established theories and current research. This ensures that psychology is brought 'down to earth' and students can see the applications of the discipline and possibly discover what branch of psychology they may follow in their career.  The authors are all experienced practitioners and lecturers in psychology, and they each discuss their own branch of the subject, looking at questions such as: *What do clinical psychologists do? *What is offender profiling? *What are the educational implications of Piaget's theory? *What is environmental psychology? *What is the future of educational psychology? *Is there a sporting personality?
