Wonderful, concrete examples!

I had to buy this book for a Research Methods Class that I was dreading. However, the book provided clear, concise language that was palpable to even the least scientifically inclined student (like myself!). I especially loved the plethora of examples.

Great for Excelsior's Research Methods in Psych test....

Although I never ended up taking the test myself, several people advised me to buy this book, which in fact is the recommended textbook listed on the content outline for the ECE Research Methods test. After skimming though it, it appears to cover what is on the test (according to the outline). But get a used copy, unless you want to pay $100+ for a new one.

This book is great!!!

I would highly recommend this book to anyone who would like to learn more about experimenting in Psychology. Myers and Hansen clearly explain confusing terms and use examples from daily life (when applicable). It is well worth the investment for Psychology majors and can also be enjoyed if you've never had a Psychology course before.
