Kirk, Baylor University This classic text, with a reputation for accessibility and readability, has been revised and updated to make learning design concepts even easier. Roger E. Kirk shows how three simple experimental designs can be combined to form a variety of complex designs. He provides diagrams illustrating how subjects are assigned to treatments and treatment combinations. New terms are emphasized in boldface type, there are summaries of the advantages and disadvantages of each design, and real-life examples show how the designs are used. CONTENTS 1.

Kim, University of Central Florida, Orlando • Jonathan H. Morgan, Pennsylvania State University • Richard A. Carlson, Pennsylvania State University This text provides a concrete, practical road map for the implementation of experiments and controlled observation using human participants. Exploring both conceptual and practical issues critical to implementing an experiment, Ritter follows the standard process in experiment-based research, covering such issues as potential ethical problems, risks to validity, experimental setup, running a study, and concluding a study. The detailed guidance on each step of an experiment is ideal for those in both universities and industry who have had little or no previous practical training in research methodology. Example scenarios help readers organize how they run experimental studies and anticipate problems and example forms that can serve as effective initial "recipes." CONTENTS: 1. Introduction / 2.

Breakwell, University of Bath, UK • Jonathan A. Smith, University of London, Birkbeck College, UK • Daniel B. Wright, Florida International University This text has been substantially and meticulously revised in its fourth Edition. Continuing to offer enviable coverage of the research methods that psychology students at intermediate levels need to master, the textbook has now been broadened to cover the full suite of beginner level research methods too. It now has extensive coverage of psychological methods, both quantitative and qualitative.
