It is a shame that all researchers have not followed the wisdom in this book

An Expert Look at Love, Intimacy and Personal Growth Ralph Rosnow was my professor when I was a PhD student in the 1970's at Temple U. Most of what I learned in psychology then, now seems naive and useless. The exception is what I learned about what really is science and how research can be "scientific" and still be very wrong. I learned from Dr. Rosnow how to tell the difference between bad research and good research. Drs. Rosnow and Rosenthal saw past the smoke and mirrors, artifacts and biases, and proposed a better methodology and understanding. Recently, I had a question about my research design and analysis. I pulled "Beginning Behavior Research" off my shelf and found it valuable. it is a great book for the beginning and seasoned researcher.
