`This book should whet the appetite of its readers, encouraging them to discover more about the many alternatives open to the research psychologist' - Perception
`The breadth of methods covered is impressive, encompassing quantitative and qualitative approaches.... The style of the book is very accessible and well-suited to a novice researcher in psychology or education. Jargon is kept to a refreshing minimum and, where needed, explained clearly. I recommend this text strongly and shall certainly use it with higher degree and research students who are new to the research process in education or psychology. The book is wider in foci than many introductory texts and presents a friendly, well-balanced approach to methodological issues' - School Psychology International
`Each chapter provides sufficient exposition for both the beginning student and the more experienced researcher to make informed decisions about the appropriateness and limitations of particular methods for specific research questions. The text does not shy away from dealing with complex and at times rather technical issues, where these need to be fully understood before a particular technique can be used appropriately' - British Journal of Developmental Psychology
`A highly recommendable text which shows that one does not have to sacrifice authority in order to gain approachability' - Journal of Environmental Psychology
"This is an excellent text on research methods, and one of the best that I have reviewed.... It is unusual to see a work authored by four people where the chapters blend so well with each other. The styles are highly compatible and the text flows well.... My general summary of the book is that it is an excellent introduction to Research Methods. In fact it is more than an introduction--it is a sophisticated coverage for a book of this type. I would be more than happy to have my students use this book and would recommend it to my colleagues." (David Howell, University of Vermont)
