Research Methods in Psychology: Evaluating a World of Information (Second Edition)

I prefer loose-leaf textbooks because I can put them in my own binder so all of my textbooks match--just an organizational preference. I ordered it used, like I have from Amazon hundreds of times for other novels and textbooks. It is my own fault for not checking the dimensions of this loose-leaf version, but I have never encountered the loose-leaf version being so much smaller than typical loose-leafs. Therefore, I can't put in my binder and the binding the seller sent it in that was made to fit this format was very banged up. That being said, the text itself is just fine.

This is actually I really good book. It is written for research consumers instead of research producers. Things are well explained and it is easy to follow. I am a psych major with a focus on ABA and this is one of the best textbooks I have used for my college psychology classes.

I ordered this for a college course I am currently taking. I did not need to use the book so far and I opened it for the first time today to study for a test. I opened it up to find huge sections of the book torn out and missing, most of it being the information I need for the test. I am incredibly angry and disappointed and will more than likely get a bad test grade because of this.

Pretty good for the statistic part of Psychology degree. It got a little boring and hard to follow about mid-way, but this is where the heavier statistics part starts. Me and math = love hate relationship. Love to hate, but doing it anyways.

Excellent textbook for my courses in Psychology. It teaches you the theories and methods for conducting research in the proper way, as well as consuming knowledge in an educated process.

Required for coursework. Just what I needed.

The information and writing is great but the quality of the book is terrible. My binding cracked and my book is in pieces the 4th time I opened it up.

Exactly what I needed, fast shipping.

The BEST book on research methods I've found. I prefer it to Andy Fields as Morling uses lots of real research as examples and is therefore much more accessible. It also didn't make me want to gouge my eyes out in boredom. Ultimately this book brought about a sea change in my attitude to research methods-much more confident and engaged now. It's my secret weapon. Just go buy it.

There's writing on the edges of the paper, but that was already mentioned in the order. Other than that, seems to be perfectly clean / brand new on the inside!

Most useful textbook I've ever used in a university course
