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.
