An introduction to the basic principles of psychological research (both experimental and non-experimental) with new coverage of qualitative research. Known for its readability, Experimental Methodology is organized so that each chapter focuses on a specific step in the research process. The primary orientation of this text is toward providing instruction in the experimental approach, but an introduction to non-experimental approaches such as ex-post facto research, correlational research, and survey research is provided. Rather than dichotomizing psychological research into descriptive and experimental research, this edition takes the more current approach of using the quantitative and qualitative research dichotomy, presented in Chapter 2. Christensen also contains strong coverage of research ethics. Experimental Methodology can be accompanied by a lab manual.

Excellent Assistant for conducting a research,
This review is from: Experimental Methodology (8th Edition) (Hardcover)
If it is the first time you are trying to conduct a scientific experiment in psychology, this is the book you should refer to. Easy to read with numerous examples, manages to clarify even difficult issues. It helped a lot while preparing my experiment for my PhD thesis.

This review is from: Experimental Methodology, 10th Edition (Hardcover)
The textbook has a informal tone that I do not like. The index is not as helpful as I would have liked. Overall the book explains concepts well.
