"How do experimental psychologists think? How do they acquire psychological knowledge? What methods do they use in their efforts to understand behavior? You'll find a clear, lucid source of answers to these questions in C. James Goodwin's Research in Psychology: Methods and Design, Fifth Edition." "A step-by-step approach and an array of study aids - including self-tests, review questions, applications exercises, and detailed examples of actual research studies - help you hone your grasp of the material. Best of all, while the text puts experimental methods first, its modular organization allows for flexible arrangement to suit the reader or instructor."--BOOK JACKET.
