A framework for understanding behavioral research
Organized around the phases of the research process, this textbook gives psychology students a structured introduction to research methods. Its framework draws on Campbell and Stanley’s concept of “threats to validity,” connecting methodological choices to questions about how soundly a study supports its conclusions. Boxed features reinforce the book’s emphasis on critical thinking, making evaluation part of the approach alongside learning research methods.
