Deze Engelstalige wetenschappelijke hardcover bevindt zich in zeer degelijke staat, maar omdat er op sommige pagina's aantekeningen werden gemaakt en gebruik werd gemaakt van een fluostift, is de prijs laag gehouden. Het boek verkeert overigens in een zeer nette staat en is als studieboek zeker goed bruikbaar.

Flaptekst:
Employing a clear, straightforward framework, this book integrates basic research methods with associated methods of data analysis. Focusing on the types of data most commonly produced by the basic research methods of observation, survey, and experiment, the text pairs each method chapter with a chapter on the analysis of the types of results usually obtained with that type of research. The core concepts of relationships between variables and generalization by means of statistical inference are introduced early and stressed through-out. In addition, many chapters begin with a description of an actual research protect which is then used to illustrate key points. A creative pedagogical program features discussion questions imbedded in the narrative that encourage students to think about issues as they are introduced. The result is an effective integration of methods and analysis written in a way that can be understood by introductory methods students in psychology and across the social sciences.
