Publisher's Synopsis
Combining up-to-date writing techniques with APA-style, this brief guide helps students master the skills necessary for writing in psychology.
This writing guide takes students step-by-step through the writing process-from choosing a topic, to outlining, drafting, and revising their papers, to seeking feedback from peers. In addition, it presents thorough discussions of researching psychological literature in the library and on the Internet and presenting those findings in written and oral formats. Special attention is given to interpreting and reporting the results of statistical tests, as well as preparing data displays in tables and figures. Introducing students to all elements of professional writing in APA style, this guide also provides practical tips for more general types of writing that students in psychology and the other social sciences encounter.
