Principles and Methods of Social Research is noted for its:
*emphasis on understanding the principles that govern the use of a method to facilitate the researcher's choice of the proper methodological approach;
*use of the laboratory experiment as a point of reference for describing and evaluating field experiments, correlational designs, quasi-experiments, and survey designs; and
*unique chapter on the ethics of social research including the power a researcher wields and tips on how to use it responsibly.
Highlights of the thoroughly expanded and updated edition include:
*new chapters on meta-analysis and social cognition methods;
* the latest on experimental operations and procedures, such as implicit measures, simulations, and Internet experiments;
* expanded coverage of conducting experiments outside of the lab, including conducting experiments on the Web and on applied evaluation research methods, including efficacy and effectiveness research.
Intended as a text for upper-level and graduate courses in research methods in social psychology, the social sciences, communications, and public health research. No previous methods courses are required.

Review
The research and teaching community in social psychology and related social sciences have been waiting for a new edition of this text. I compliment the authors for writing such an engaging text on a subject matter that many audiences consider dry and difficult to comprehend.
—Michele Alexander
University of Maine
It is an excellent source of information about social research issues. I have often used it as a handy source of information and I have repeatedly recommended it to my undergraduate and graduate research assistants. Many of them still consider the book their 'methods bible.' The book is remarkable in both the scope of methodological issues and in thoroughness and balance with which they are examined.
