| Synopsis: |
Why Science Matters: Understanding the Methods of Psychological Research rises above standard research methods texts by presenting an up-to-date view of contemporary psychological science as it is currently understood and practiced. * Explores not only the procedural aspects of psychological research, but also delves into the issue of how to accomplish effective science. * Explicates how hypotheses and theories are to be evaluated. * Suggests that the proper approach to devising and evaluating theories is by abduction, not by induction or deduction alone. * Incorporates new investigatory procedures, current methodologists, conflicts and issues, implications of the philosophy of science, and a lively prose style. * Provides a picture of science that will engage students and expand their abilities as both scientists and psychologists. |
