| Summary, etc. |
Research Methods in Psychology: Evaluating a World of Information, second edition, acknowledges that many psychology majors pursue careers in which they need to read and understand research, rather than actually conduct research. While students still learn the skills necessary to design research, the book emphasizes the quantitative reasoning skills they need to become systematic and critical consumers of information. Featuring examples drawn from popular media and an innovative framework that ensures that students will retain and apply what they learn, this market-leading text is a book your students will read and use. |
