Summary:

"With significant new and updated content across dozens of chapters, the second edition of this handbook presents the most exhaustive treatment available of the techniques psychologists and others have developed to help them pursue a shared understanding of why humans think, feel, and behave the way they do. The volume 1 of this edition presents the descriptions of many techniques that psychologists and others have developed to help them pursue a shared understanding of why humans think, feel, and behave the way they do. The volume is organized into four parts. Part one addresses the broadest questions related to research designs. These involve both (a) which research designs are most appropriate for which question and (b) how to think about the ethicality the research that address the question, and (c) how to conduct research with participants drawn from more diverse populations. Part two helps readers with the research planning process, including how to develop a testable hypothesis, find the pertinent literature, secure the resources one need, and choose measures and what people to study. Part III describes the plethora of measurement techniques that psychologists most often use to collect data and how to determine whether the measurement techniques that one might choose are the best ones for the readers' purpose. For this revised edition of the handbook, significant changes were made to the discussions of chronometric and psychophysical measures and the measures used in psychophysiology and neuroscience. Part four contains chapters-looking at different ways to assess the trustworthiness of measures."--(PsycInfo Database Record (c) 2023 APA, all rights reserved).
