While Research Methods in Psychology is fairly traditional making it easy for you to use with your existing courses it also emphasizes a fundamental idea that is often lost on undergraduates: research methods are not a peripheral concern in our discipline; they are central. The overarching goal of this textbook is to present the basics of psychological research methods focusing on the concepts and skills that are most widely shared within the discipline emphasizing both their centrality to our field and their contribution to our understanding of human behavior. The book will include several features that will help accomplish this overarching goal.
