Psychological Research - Innovative Methods and Strategies

Informationen zum Autor John Haworth is a Lecturer in Psychology at Manchester University with research interests in mental health, work and leisure. Klappentext Starting a research project, however large or small can be a daunting prospect. New researchers can be confronted with a huge number of options not only of topic, but of conceptual underpinning. It is quite possible to conduct research into say, memory, from a number of research traditions. Psychology also has links with several other disciplines and it is possible to utilise their techniques; the difficulty is quite simply the wide variety of methodological approaches that psychological research embraces. In this collection, authors have been recruited to explain a wide range of different research strategies and theories with examples from their own work. Their successes as well as the problems they encountered are explained to provide a comprehensive and practical guide for all new researchers. The collection will be a great help to undergraduates about to start final year projects and should be required reading for all those thinking of graduate level research. Zusammenfassung In this collection, authors have been recruited to explain a wide range of different research strategies and theories with examples from their own work. The result is a comprehensive and practical guide for all new researchers. Inhaltsverzeichnis List of Illustrations. List of Contributors. Foreword. Part I: Survey Research.
