5.0 out of 5 stars A PhD candidate must have
Verified PurchaseCozby writes in clear language about all the nuances and details a doctoral student must know. The book also points out numerous behavioral details that we tend to overlook because they seem obvious. The book speaks of bias in research that is more accidental than obvious. No two people are alike, and so no two researchers perceptions are alike either. The book does an excellent job of examining potential flaws in thinking and researching, and provides methods to avoid these problems. The entire discussion is aided by the fact that Cozby does not talk down to you, nor is the discussion boring. I would even go so far as to say that students need this book earlier to help develop critical thinking skills, because this book really helps in that area. If you are taking statistics and never seem to understand what all the terminology means, this book helps you understand. If you've already taken statistics, you will still benefit from that part of the discussion. All around, this is a researchers best friend. This book mentions another book by Trochim and Donnelly, which is a great complement to this one. Buy both - you'll never regret it.

4.0 out of 5 stars picture shows 10th edition, but product was 7th in my case
Verified PurchaseThe book is alright, I was just mislead by the picture. I was expecting the 10th edition, but received the 7th. It was only about 1/2 the price of what the 10th edition would have cost me. The book is fine and I received it promptly, I just wish I had noticed that the picture was wrong. Despite buying the 7th edition the information was very similar to the 10th, and I still found the book very useful.

5.0 out of 5 stars Solid
Verified PurchaseHas a useful model section in the Appendices, which shows template research abstracts that allow you to model your studies based on real-published articles.
A good overlook at methods in Behavioral Research. Affordable and has a nice portable size compared to some textbooks
