Synopsis: |
"Key Studies in Psychology, 4th Edition" offers students full and detailed summaries of 33 research reports and studies drawn from all major areas of psychology: cognitive, social, developmental, abnormal, biopsychology, comparative and cutlure, identity and individual differences. Before each summary, the study is put into a theoretical, practical and/or socio-historical context, and details of its aims, hypotheses, method and design are presented. Following each summary, an evaluation of the study is provided, focusing on major theoretical and methodogical issues, subsequent research, and applications and implications. Each summary is also followed by exercise questions which require the reader to think critically about methodological, statistical, ethical as well as theoretical features of the study. Answers to these questions are given at the back of the book. The book gives students excellent first-hand experience of reading journal articles and the chosen key studies will be of great value in practical work, essay-writing and preparation of seminar papers. "Key Studies in Psychology 4th Edition" is designed to be accessible and reader-friendly.All 20 studies from the new OCR specification are covered and it also includes 2 new studies. The book is suitable for all A and AS level students as well as Psychology undergraduates and the interested general reader. |
