Experimental Psychology
(In this revision of their popular text, Kantowitz, Roedig...)
In this revision of their popular text, Kantowitz, Roediger, and Elmes, all prominent researchers in the field, continue to cover experimental psychology within the context of basic psychological concepts, discussing and clarifying methodology with well-selected examples of actual research. Five foundational chapters in Part I introduce readers to theory construction, observational and experimental research techniques, ethical issues, and reading and writing research reports. Each of the ten chapters in Part II is devoted to a specific content area (for example, psychophysics, perception, and conditioning and learning. In these chapters, the authors discuss and clarify research methods within the context of actual research methods conducted in these specific content areas. The result? Students connect methodology with research and can see for themselves the issues and problems that occur in conducting real research. The Seventh Edition includes chapters on current issues such as animal testing/animal rights, psycholinguistics, and brain wave measurement.

Research Methods in Psychology
(Using contemporary examples from primary sources, RESEARC...)
Using contemporary examples from primary sources, RESEARCH METHODS IN PSYCHOLOGY, Ninth Edition, encourages students to become engaged in the basics of scientific investigation through an example-based approach. This text displays the authors' commitment to ensuring that the student has a thorough understanding of the research process from the very beginning. Highly readable, it avoids the heavy statistical tone that some introductory students find difficult to understand. Rather, it is conceptually driven to offer students a big picture view of the experimental approach to research. Empirical examples and applications are consistently used throughout to foster critical-thinking skills. In many chapters, a unifying empirical example at the beginning of the chapter is cited throughout the chapter to help clarify terms or design problems. By presenting concepts with concrete examples, the text aids students in applying related ideas to their areas of research interest.
