Understanding and applying research methods and statistics in psychology is one of the corner stones of study at undergraduate level being taught at all levels from introductory to honors level. This comprehensive and multi-level textbook will support the undergraduate student and the lecturer as they journey through the teaching and learning of methods and statistics throughout an undergraduate degree.
Beginning Quantitative Research
In this part, we will look at how psychologists can use numbers to describe and predict behaviour. Here we will encounter such concepts as summarising data and displaying it meaningfully. We will also look at how we can test hypothesis about behaviour scientifically. In order to demonstrate these topics we will look at studies that have examined why we perform differently when observed, and why we remember some things better than others do.
This part will also examine a type of study that everyone has taken part in, the survey, but looking at a particular type of survey, on crime.
