Customer Reviews

Informational.

As a psychology major, I'm used to some dry reads, and this went along with the dry reads for me. Luckily, though, it's very informational and has many examples. The author realised that a lot of the information isn't all that interesting, so he was sure to follow every bit of material with a real-life example. While this is usually annoying in books, I found it incredibly helpful in overcoming the course's boring nature. If you are a professor, I recommend this text. It's cheap for students since it's an older edition, but it is still relevant to introductory experimental psychology courses.

Excellent Book

I am taking a seminar course on Research Methods. I found this book to be an excellent complementary to my course. This book provides simple and straight forward explanation and it is full with case studies and real life examples.

fast and easy

I was hesitant to order a textbook online, but my grown daughter told me I was silly. I jumped in with both feet and ordered the book, saving $68 from my university bookstore price. I will do it again!
