The text begins with chapters on science and getting started in research. Measurement issues and descriptive methods and statistics are then covered, followed by correlational methods and statistics. Hypothesis testing and inferential statistics are introduced, followed by experimental design and the appropriate inferential statistics for analyzing such designs. The final three chapters present quasi-experimental and single-case designs. APA guidelines on writing, and a sample APA manuscript. --
