RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS: A PROCESS APPROACH
The research methods course that most psychology majors are required to take is a challenge for both students and the instructor. The challenge for students is to deal with concepts that are alien and try to understand a new way of look- ing at the world. The challenge for the instructor is to ensure not only that stu- dents understand the concepts important to research, but also that they can apply them to the conduct and evaluation of research. Unfortunately, many re- search methods texts do precious little to teach students how research is actual- ly done. Although students may come away with a knowledge about different research designs and methods, they may not fully understand the nuances in- volved in developing a successful research study.
The goal of our text, Research Design and Methods: A Process Approach, is to provide a step-by-step guide to designing, conducting, reporting, and evaluat- ing psychological research. At each step, students are given the information they need to evaluate the options at their disposal and carry out the step. The text takes students from the elementary concepts of scientific research to some fairly advanced topics while maintaining a relaxed and readable style.
