Great experience

Great experience with this seller. Book was in perfect condition and arrive in a timely manner.

Excellent Assistant for conducting a research

If it is the first time you are trying to conduct a scientific experiment in psychology, this is the book you should refer to. Easy to read with numerous examples, manages to clarify even difficult issues. It helped a lot while preparing my experiment for my PhD thesis.

Excellent supplementary text for Psych Research

I've been teaching undergraduate Research Methods in Psychology for over 10 years now and this laboratory manual has been a jewel. The exercises use real published research to teach specific skills. And the price is quite reasonable given the prices of most college textbooks. I highly recommend psych profs responsible for teaching research methods give this supplemental text a good look. The only drawback is that it is a bit dated. It hasn't been updated since 1995, and the publisher doesn't seem interested in publishing a newer edition. This is the only reason I don't give it 5 stars. But really, do you need the most recent research for an intro to research methods course?
