Experimental Methodology

by Larry B. Christensen

This new revised edition focuses on the methodological issues involved in the design and conduct of psychological experimentation. The book is organized so that each chapter focuses on a specific step in the research process. Readability, as in previous editions, is a primary focus in the presentation of material. Taking advantage of current technology and media, the author has incorporated treatment of the Internet's role in research and uses examples such as the O.J. Simpson trial to bring the text to life. The chapter on ethics has been revised and expanded to include recently uncovered unethical practices such as the use of radiation on cancer patients. This book takes the diverse topic of methodology and clearly and logically presents it with the accessible and engaging style that has made this book a bestseller in its field for years.

[A · Rating 5 out of 5]

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.
