Publisher's Synopsis
Lehman's text integrates research methods with statistics and they are seen as ways of asking and answering questions. The design of the research serves as one way of asking a question, while the data analysis provides the answer. Lehman takes the position that methods and statistics are the tools used in research in psychology. The statistical presentation is non-mathematical. The author strives to make the student understand why the procedures work as they do and eschews mathematical presentation. The logic of the methods is carefully developed and the computations follow from that presentation. The writing style is direct, informal and interesting.;This book should be of interest to students taking courses at undergraduate level in research design, statistics and experimental psychology.
