The Second Edition of the award-winning Research Methods for the Behavioral Sciences employs a problem-focused approach that fully integrates the decision tree—from choosing a research design to conducting statistical analysis and communicating results. With a conversational, student-friendly writing style, Gregory J. Privitera shows how methods and analysis work together and enable the testing of hypotheses through use of the scientific method. Outstanding pedagogy, current examples, and robust resources empower students to approach their study and application of research methods with confidence.
