Bestselling statistics author, Fredrick J. Gravetter, and co-author Lori-Ann B. Forzano have written a text for research methods that helps you see how interesting and exciting experimental and non-experimental research can be. Inviting and conversational, RESEARCH METHODS FOR THE BEHAVIORAL SCIENCES, International Edition, leads you through the research process from start to finish. The text opens with tips and strategies for generating research ideas, moves to selecting measures and participants, and then offers an examination of research strategy and design. This step-by-step approach emphasizes the decisions researchers must make at each stage of the process. The authors avoid a "cookbook" approach to the facts by linking terminology with applied concepts; their "lecture in a book" style emphasizes discussion and explanation of topics. Each chapter ends with a set of exercises and activities.

Ordered the book last night with priority shipping and got it this morning. The book is brand new and saved me 15 dollars. Don't know how good the book is considering I am just starting the semester but in terms of delivery and the shape its in, I am very satisfied.

It's ok, but let's face it
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 18 July 2013Verified Purchase
It is ok, but let's face it - it's stats. This was a required textbook for a Psychology course I studied. It explains the information quite well and is useful for use alongside the course. Would I have bought it if I hadn't to study it? No (who really wants to read stats textbooks if they don't have to...)
