The second edition of Psychology Research Methods: How to Think About and Write About Research by Wendy Heath engages students with the same types of compelling studies that led them to major in psychology but in a research methods context. By looking underneath the conclusions of the studies to determine which methods and analyses they use, students discover the relevance and importance of research methods. Heath also focuses on writing about research methods by presenting examples from the literature as well as writing exercises at the end of each chapter. These features help students complete their research papers with confidence while gaining a greater understanding of research methods through writing. Coverage of descriptive, experimental, quasi-experimental, small-N design, and qualitative methods in psychology give students a broad overview of all methods in this brief text.
