For courses in Research Methods and Experimental Methods

Research Methods, Design and Analysis provides students with a comprehensive understanding of the methods used to investigate human thought and behaviour and to do so in a way that is 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.
