Principles of Research in Behavioral Science - Hardcover

Inhaltsangabe

Emphasizing question formulation, data collection, and the interpretation of results, this text on behavioural research focuses on advanced methods. The author assumes that the reader has had a first course in research methods and statistics. Individual chapters are devoted to experimental research, correlational research, single-case research, and research in natural settings. The book covers a number of topics of special interest to advanced students, including the role of theory in the research process, how to write research reports focusing on content rather than "APA style", and the social responsibilities of scientists. Chapter-ending review questions give students an opportunity to apply their skills, and these questions can be used for class assignments, or discussion or essay topics.
