Reviews

'This volume - more than any other book published in the last two decades - will change the field of psychology. Psychological scientists have long recognized that ultimately, if their research is to have any meaning, they must venture out of the lab to study psychological processes unfolding in the 'real world.' But until now there has not been a comprehensive resource to show them how. As the first complete, authoritative, and practical guide to studying daily life, this Handbook is set to change the way research is done. Every behavioral scientist should own a copy.' - Sam Gosling, Department of Psychology, University of Texas, USA 'At last, we have diverse, reliable quantitative methods for studying real-life behavior and experience. The methods reviewed here could be as big as or bigger than neuroscience in terms of understanding real-life behavior. From concepts and methods to data analysis, Mehl and Connor present all of the information needed to conduct valid studies of everyday behavior, physiology, feelings, and cognition, including across cultures and groups. This absolutely wonderful book should be read and reread by every social and behavioral scientist. If this happens, we will see huge advances in the decades to come, because the study of everyday life can greatly enrich virtually every field in the human sciences.' - Ed Diener, Alumni Distinguished Professor of Psychology (Emeritus), University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, USA
