Research Methods and Statistics for Psychology

Because psychology researchers do not design and carry out investigations without considering both how the data will be collected and how it will be analyzed, this text does not artifically separate statistics and research methods as do most texts currently available. Designed specifically for the emerging combined course in statistics and research methods, this text is written in the belief that students will learn these topics more easily when presented together. Presenting methods and statistics as a unified body of information, the author shows students how each component is intimately tied to one another and provides an overall strategy for conducting psychological research.
