This text is about doing science and the active process of reading,
learning, thinking, generating ideas, designing experiments, and
the logistics surrounding each step of the research process. In
easy-to-read, conversational language, Kim MacLin teaches students
experimental design principles and techniques using a tutorial
approach in which students read, critique, and analyze over 75
actual experiments from every major area of psychology. She
provides them with real-world information about how science in
psychology is conducted and how they can participate. Recognizing
that students come to an experimental design course with their own
interests and perspectives, MacLin covers many subdisciplines of
psychology throughout the text, including IO psychology, child
psychology, social psychology, behavioral psychology, cognitive
psychology, clinical psychology, health psychology,
educational/school psychology, legal psychology, and personality
psychology, among others. Part I of the text is content oriented
and provides an overview of the principles of experimental design.
Part II contains annotated research articles for students to read
and analyze. Classic articles have been retained and 11 new ones
have been added, featuring contemporary case studies, information
on the Open Science movement, expanded coverage on ethics in
research, and a greater focus on becoming a better writer, clarity
and precision in writing, and reducing bias in language. This
edition is up to date with the latest APA Publication Manual (7th
edition) and includes an overview of the updated bias-free language
guidelines, the use of singular "they," the new ethical compliance
checklist, and other key changes in APA style. This text is
essential reading for students and researchers interested in and
studying experimental design in psychology.
