The well-respected author team provides coverage of research methods including experimentation, small-n experimentation, observation and measurement through a research methods approach (as opposed to a research topics approach). This text, the standard in the field, is comprehensive and clearly-written, with content examples blended into each discussion. This edition expands coverage on non-experimental methods. For a content approach, refer to Kantowitz/Roediger/Elmes (West, 1994).

Using contemporary examples from primary sources, RESEARCH METHODS IN PSYCHOLOGY, Eighth Edition encourages students to become engaged in the basics of scientific investigation through an example-based approach. This text displays the authors' commitment to ensuring that the student has a thorough understanding of the research process from the very beginning. Highly readable, it avoids the heavy statistical tone that some introductory students find difficult to understand. Rather, it is conceptually driven to offer students a big picture view of the experimental approach to research. Empirical examples and applications are consistently used throughout to foster critical thinking skills. In many chapters, a unifying empirical example at the beginning of the chapter is cited throughout the chapter to help clarify terms or design problems. By presenting concepts with concrete examples, the text aids students in applying related ideas to their areas of research interest.

UNDERSTANDING PSYCHOLOGY RESEARCH, Ninth Edition, takes an example-based approach to the fundamentals of research methodology. Organized by topic--such as research in human factors, learning, thinking, and problem solving--the text helps you connect the concepts of sound methodology with their practical applications. Because the authors use dozens of carefully selected real-world examples, you can see for yourself the issues and problems that can occur in conducting research. More importantly, you can develop a sense of how to anticipate and adjust for problems in your own research.

In this revision of their popular text, Kantowitz, Roediger, and Elmes, all prominent researchers in the field, continue to cover experimental psychology within the context of basic psychological concepts, discussing and clarifying methodology with well-selected examples of actual research. Five foundational chapters in Part I introduce readers to theory construction, observational and experimental research techniques, ethical issues, and reading and writing research reports. Each of the ten chapters in Part II is devoted to a specific content area (for example, psychophysics, perception, and conditioning and learning. In these chapters, the authors discuss and clarify research methods within the context of actual research methods conducted in these specific content areas. The result? Students connect methodology with research and can see for themselves the issues and problems that occur in conducting real research. The Seventh Edition includes chapters on current issues such as animal testing/animal rights, psycholinguistics, and brain wave measurement.
