Here is a detailed guide for students who will design and implement their own independent research. It examines the complete process of experimentation: asking the right question and translating it into a workable design, setting the stage for data collection, designing dependent variable measures, avoiding bias, conducting the post-experimental interview, and writing up the results. Although the approach of the book is primarily practical, it also confronts substantive issues such as ethics, design, validity, and measurement.

Amazing book on research methods,

This review is from: Methods of Research In Social Psychology (Hardcover)
Of all the books I have used in research methods courses, this one is by far the best. It is written in a clear and engaging style, with plenty of excellent examples. The authors cover everything from the most basic (like the difference between an independent and dependent variable) to the most advanced techniques and strategies for designing a tight, valid experiment. This book was a joy to read and I highly recommend it to anyone with an interest in social science research methods.

This review is from: Methods of Research In Social Psychology (Hardcover)
I found this book really helpful as I am doing experiments for my PhD thesis.
The author has explained the concepts in a simple language, especially for non-native English speakers like me.
