Editorial Reviews
"This text is well written, organized and practical, and contains all the information a psychology student would require in an introductory methods resource." --Ken Fowler, Memorial University of Newfoundland
"The book presents a clear, thorough introduction to key topics in methods while encouraging students to, above all, give practical consideration to what they are doing. Throughout the book there is a strong focus of 'okay, now that you know what to do and why to do it - let's discuss how you will put it into practice.'" --Kelly Arbeau, Trinity Western University
"This Canadian textbook is well-written, clear, accessible, and uses real-world examples to explain concepts in an interesting way." --Kendall Soucie, University of Windsor
