Experimental Methodology

by Larry B. Christensen

Known for its readability, Experimental Methodology is organized so that each chapter focuses on a specific step in the research process. The primary orientation of this text is toward providing instruction in the experimental approach, but an introduction to non-experimental approaches such as ex-post facto research, correlational research, and survey research is provided. Rather than dichotomizing psychological research into descriptive and experimental research, this edition takes the more current approach of using the quantitative and qualitative research dichotomy, presented in Chapter 2. Christensen also incorporates thorough coverage of research ethics. MARRKET: For anyone interested in research methods in psychology and education.

This is an excellent book, not only for psychology students but for anybody interested in designing and performing experiments. True, most of the examples are focused on psychologu and pharmacology, but the content can be applied to prett much any other discipline (maybe you can skip the last APA-related chapter).

Highly recommended.
