Appropriate for an introductory course emphasising experimental methodology in psychology, this text provides psychological research. It examines the ethical use of subject pools, ethics in program evaluation research, and nonlinear effects in the research of Hermann Ebbinghaus. It also contains eight case studies, that illustrate specific design or methodological points, boxes on disproving phrenology, and several statistical routines, including post hoc testing (Tukey's HSD test), effect size, and nonparametric testing (Mann-Whitney U Test). Furthermore, the section on reviewing literature has been rewritten to highlight the use of electronic databases, mainly PsycLit on CD-ROM.
