Description and Table of Contents
Description
Appropriate as a supplementary text for any undergraduate course involving Behavioral Science Research where students are planning their first independent research studies or projects. It is also useful for advanced investigators at the graduate level who need to translate basic principles into a concrete research study or project.
This unique supplemental text leads the student investigator through every aspect of preparing a research or project plan through the use of a series of questions and explanatory comments. The Guide provides systematic ways for the student to translate general research principles into a concrete research plan. It also includes a discussion on how to write an actual research proposal.
