Research Methods in Psychology: Evaluating a World of Information, 4th International Student Edition
Beth Morling
Featuring an emphasis on future consumers of psychological research and examples drawn from popular media, Research Methods in Psychology: Evaluating a World of Information develops students’ critical-thinking skills as they evaluate information in their everyday lives. The Fourth Edition of this best-selling text takes learning to a new level for both consumers and producers by offering new content, interactive learning, and online assessment to help them master the concepts.
Features
- Content tailored to consumers and producers of research: While the text serves future consumers of research — students who will go on to read and use research in their chosen professions — it also serves future producers — students who will go on to receive a PhD and eventually design and conduct studies in an academic setting.
- Become critical thinkers and evaluators of research and claims made in the media, with the text’s active learning approach that is integrated throughout.
