OverviewPsychology Research Methods: A Writing Intensive Approach provides instruction in critical concepts and processes in behavioral science research methods and skills in formulating and writing research papers. The book creates an experiential approach to learning, with chapters organized around the task of writing a complete APA-style research paper. The chapters consist of instructional text, excerpts from published research articles, and learning activities. The reading activities help students develop skills in reading scientific research, evaluating and analyzing scientific information, and assembling evidence to make a scientific argument. The writing activities help students to break down the process of writing a research paper into manageable and meaningful components. As students complete the chapter activities, they assemble their research paper. The book teaches research methods in a clinical context, inspired by the National Institute of Health’s Science of Behavior Change Program. Students acquire knowledge about research methods as they read research articles about behavioral health disorders, including studies about their prevalence, causes, and treatment. Teaching research methods with a clinical focus helps students appreciate the value of psychological research.

Writing about research methodsReviewsPsychology Research Methods is a unique undergraduate research methods book that provides practical tools and exercises for students to develop competencies conducting psychological research. Its writing intensive approach ensures that students actively develop research and writing skills that will support them beyond their undergraduate training. I especially appreciate that this book does not merely present the concepts and theory that undergird psychological research; it immerses students in the research process itself. I look forward to integrating these materials into my own courses at both the undergraduate and graduate levels. -- Chad Danyluck, Assistant Professor in Health Psychology, Carleton University, Ottawa, Ontario, Canada Author InformationDr. Brondolo is an established, funded researcher for the past 25 years.
