Dissertations and Theses From Start to Finish, now updated and
revised to reflect changes to the APA's Publication Manual, Seventh
Edition! For over twenty-five years, Cone and Foster's useful
book has guided student writers through the practical,
logistical, and emotional struggles that come with writing
dissertations and theses. It offers guidance to students
through all the essential steps, including: Defining topics;
Selecting faculty advisors; Scheduling time to work on the project,
and; Conducting, analyzing, writing, presenting, and publishing
research. This third edition of this bestselling work follows new
guidelines from APA's Publication Manual, Seventh Edition, and
includes questions to help steer research, checklists, diagrams,
and sample research papers. It also reflects the most recent
advances in online research and includes fully updated online
resources. Each chapter begins with an Advance Organizer that
offers an at-a-glance summary of chapter content and applicability
for different types of readers. Chapters also include significantly
expanded To Do and Supplemental Resource lists, as well as helpful
suggestions for dealing with common “traps” that recur
throughout the writing process. The authors also consider the
variety of roles faculty advisors play, and of variations in the
thesis and dissertation process and requirements across
institutions of higher learning.
In this book, first published in the UK in 1984, John Cone and
Stephen Hayes explore the relation between physical environment and
human behaviour. A fledgling field at the time, this study of the
roots of environmentally relevant psychology has proved both
fruitful and exciting. Within this text, Cone and Hayes first
explore the fields of physical and behavioural technology, and the
few studies previously conducted around the latter. They then focus
their attention on the principles and methodologies of the study of
environmentally relevant behaviour and psychology, absorbing the
work undertaken thus far on factors such as population control and
noise pollution, and assembling its conclusions. A summary of the
tasks facing researchers at the time then rounds off a text which
will be invaluable in the analysis of the early and often trepid
steps taken in the study of the physical environment and its
connections to human behaviour.
