Samenvatting:

Using a spare style that doesn't ''get in the way'' of the instructor, this revision of McBurney's highly respected text uses concrete examples and extensive end-of-chapter materials to get students actively involved in research methodology. The author has carefully revised the text to eliminate esoteric and advanced topics and to re-emphasize the basics. McBurney walks students step-by-step through problem selection, literature search, research protocols, and the publication process, including student-friendly activities that encourage students' participation in the research process. The Fifth Edition illustrates the usefulness of the experimental method in analyzing basic behavioral processes and draws examples from all the areas of psychology, including learning, memory, sensation/perception, and social behavior.
