Description

This textbook throws open the doors to psychological research, revealing how ideas become evidence, and how you do that for yourself.

Grounded in real-world practice, it places ethical responsibility at the heart of psychological research—challenging you think carefully about your obligations to research participants and to those who depend on research findings.

Each chapter is written by a recognised expert in the methods it explores, ensuring authoritative and practice-informed coverage throughout and clearly organised into preparation, collection and analysis sections.

Contributors include Virginia Braun, Victoria Clarke, Andy Field, and Michiel Spape.

The book is designed to actively support learning, with features that help you consolidate key concepts, sharpen your analytical thinking, and develop strong evaluation skills.

You’ll find learning objectives, exercises, discussion questions, and illustrations of key studies.

For this edition, the book was restructured to make the research process easier to follow, new chapters added to make sure the most common methods all had equal coverage, and that they all were focused on getting across the core knowledge, as easily as possible.

Clear, current, and compelling, this is an essential guide for anyone seeking to understand—and apply—research methods in psychology.
