About this title

Synopsis

The well-respected author team provides coverage of research methods including experimentation, small-n experimentation, observation and measurement through a research methods approach (as opposed to a research topics approach). This text, the standard in the field, is comprehensive and clearly-written, with content examples blended into each discussion. This edition expands coverage on non-experimental methods. For a content approach, refer to Kantowitz/Roediger/Elmes (West, 1994).
