Kurzbeschreibung des Verlags

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.
