The Process of Research in Psychology

by Dawn M. McBride

Using diverse examples from published research, the Third Edition of The Process of Research in Psychology by Dawn M. McBride provides step-by-step coverage on how to design, conduct, and present a research study. Early chapters introduce important concepts for developing research ideas while subsequent "nuts and bolts" chapters provide more detailed coverage of topics and examine the types of research relevant to the field. This logical two-part structure creates an excellent foundation upon which students can build their knowledge of the entire research process.

I read this book for fun. Just kidding, but for those who might be looking for a research text I will say this one was written simply enough to be readable by all levels of students and still useful for higher level objectives.

I know this is a textbook but it still counts as a book. I had to use it for my research methods class. This textbook explains the concepts in a way that’s easy to understand, which I appreciate.

Meh. The APA style guide and any statistics book probably works just as well.
