Developmental Research Methods
Developmental Research Methods, now in its Fourth Edition , successfully presents an overview of methods to prepare students to carry out, report on, and evaluate research on human development, with a focus on the whole lifespan. Updated and expanded coverage of the traditional topics blends seamlessly with new topics such as cross-cultural research, animal research, causal modeling, autobiographical memory, and peer relations to provide students with a wealth of current information. Author Scott A. Miller explores every step in the research process, from the initial concept to the final written result, covering conceptual issues of experimental design as well as the procedural skills necessary to translate design into research.

This book was sitting on a bookshelf of my parent who took Dr. Miller's Class and got the book attending in 1993 at UF. When I spotted this book it really interested me because I am thinking about achieving a Psychology degree.
Dr. Miller intended for this book for whoever wants to learn more about how to do research in developmental psychology and it reflects the way that he believes most of us go about doing research. This book is also intended for both "advanced undergraduates and beginning graduate students" so as a high school student after reading this book I'd say that this was accurate and that I was able to follow and read the book well. This book covers general principles of design and procedure all the way to specific research areas in developmental psychology.
I really enjoyed this book and it has definitely made me want to learn more about different parts of psychology. The chapter Social Development interests me the most because it was cool to read how about the moral behaviors of a child such as sex-typing, which is when the child becomes aware of their gender and behaves differently. I would recommend this to anyone who is interested in these studies and is beginning to learn more about psychology.
