Research Methods, Design, and Analysis offers you comprehensive research methodology for psychology and related fields. The text provides you with a comprehensive understanding of the research methods used to investigate human thought and behavior and to do so in a way that is understandable and accessible. Though the text covers the complete range of research methods in use today, it has a slight focus on experimental methods, which are more prevalent in the psychology fields. To ease accessibility and help bring research methods to life, complex material is augmented with illustrations.
The 13th Edition has been extensively updated on a chapter-by-chapter basis. Additionally, all chapter objectives are now tied directly to level-1 chapter headings, enforcing chapter goals.
