Emphasizing critical thinking and ethics, Spatz & Kardas' Research Methods in Psychology presents a practical approach to investigating behavioral and mental processes.

Intended for a first undergraduate course, Research Methods in Psychology incorporates student-friendly features such as Chapter Reviews and Critical Thinking exercises, while providing all the background and tools necessary for students to conduct and report on their own research.
