Description

The new edition of "Experimental Methodology" retains an approach that details the research process and focuses on methodology. Each chapter considers a specific step in the research process, with opening vignettes providing examples of the relevance of the chapter contents. Key features include a new section on informed consent with an example of an informed consent form and a new sample research report - a 1992 publication on nightmares. New and expanded sections include survey methodology and ethical issues such as scientific misconduct, informed consent and the ethics of animal research.
