DESCRIPTION: Help students see how interesting experimental and nonexperimental research can be, with RESEARCH METHODS FOR THE BEHAVIORAL SCIENCES, 6th Edition. Frederick J Gravetter and Lori-Ann B. Forzano lead students through the research process from start to finish, including tips and strategies for generating research ideas and hypotheses, selecting measures and participants, and designing research. This step-by-step approach emphasizes the decisions researchers must make at each stage of the process. The authors avoid a "cookbook" presentation by linking terminology with applied concepts and by explaining topics thoroughly. Content reflects the most current APA guidelines. Also available: the MindTap digital teaching and learning resource.
