Review # 1 was written on 2019-02-24 00:00:00 Noud Hekkens It was in graduate school when I took my last research methods class. Since I entered the clinical field whether than academic or research, I have had little use for research methods with the exception of evaluating research papers. When I asked to teach an introductory research methods course, I reluctantly agreed. I had to read the book to develop my lectures. This book easily refreshed my knowledge, but I found some of the research used to support the chapter information often difficult for the students to wrap their head around requiring me to locate alternative research.

Review # 2 was written on 2018-06-08 00:00:00 Matt Pederson I was assigned this text for a psychology research lab specifically for “non-experimental methods in social psychology.” This text was perfect for the course. I enjoyed reading it and felt like I understood better how non-experimental methods can still be scientific. I’ve read some of the other more negative reviews of this book and can understand where they’re coming from (wordy, strangely organized). This book served my needs perfectly, but I wouldn’t recommend this book as a concise manual of experimental methods for psychology as a whole.
