How do you design a research project? What is the difference in method
between qualitative and quantitative research? How should
psychologists go about considering the ethics of research methodology?
For the 'students who ask questions', this concise text provides an
informative introduction to the methods of psychological research,
offering an overview of the primary stages in research. From learning
how to construct the initial aims and criterion of a study to
presenting the final resulting data into tables and graphs, this book
aims to guide psychologists through the tools that make psychological
research and the understanding of its resulting data possible. Written
with enthusiasm and lucidity, Walker guides readers through the
appropriate methods for undertaking research, explaining the
discerning features of the core types of research, the primary
measurements of statistics such as the chi-squared, t and Mann-Whitney
U tests and brings an apt consideration of what makes a psychological
study ethical. Whether desiring to learn about how to empirically
record and measure the psychological experience of an individual or
the behavioural factors of an entire population, Research Methods and
Statistics is the introductory short-text for learning how to
undertake successful research. This title stands as part of the
Insights series edited by Nigel Holt and Rob Lewis, containing
versatile, quick guides to the cornerstone theories, main topics and
theoretical perspectives of their subjects and are useful for
pre-undergraduate students looking to find incisive introductions to
subjects that they may be considering for undergraduate study or those
looking for helpful preparatory reading for undergraduate modules in
the prospective subject. Also useful for undergraduate
psychology-students who feel that they could benefit from some
background reading in this often less-understood area of psychology.
