How to Design and Report Experiments

Research Methods in Psychology
While many books look at the fundamentals of doing successful experiments and include good coverage of statistical techniques, this book very importantly considers the process in chronological order with specific attention given to effective design in the context of likely methods needed and expected results. Without full assessment of these aspects, the experience and results may not end up being as positive as one might have hoped. Ample coverage is then also provided of statistical data analysis, a hazardous journey in itself, and the reporting of findings, with numerous examples and helpful tips of common downfalls throughout.
Combining light humour, empathy with solid practical guidance to ensure a positive experience overall, How to Design and Report Experiments will be essential reading for students in psychology and those in cognate disciplines with an experimental focus or content in research methods courses.
This is a very good book for students facing for the first time the task of designing and running their own experiments.
I found this book a good one to helping students start thinking how to design experiements starting from reaseach/ethics proposals
This book seems not to have been updated. We are still looking for an up-to-date hands-on book on designing experiments.
Well structured and understandable introduction in the design, statistical analysis, and reporting of psychological experiments. I can recommend the book for experimental seminars in psychology.
Amazing book, easy to understand. My students will love it.
This has been very well received by the students and they have found it very helpful for writing their class reports.
an easy-to-read and user friendly manual. Excellent for students.
a great book for undergraduate students
I was looking for more of a lab manual--rather than a full textbook on designing experiments
