Description

New To This Edition

Many important changes have been made to the 11^th edition. Some were suggested by external reviewers, and many were made in an attempt to expand the book’s coverage. The primary changes made are as follows:

• Many of the previous chapters have been shortened and made a little simpler. An attempt was made to do this without sacrificing the book’s well known rigor. 
• A new chapter is included on quantitative and mixed methods research.
• A new chapter is included on survey research.
• A new chapter is included on measurement and sampling
• There are two chapters on statistics, with one focusing on descriptive statistics and the other focusing on inferential statistics.
• The chapter on writing the research report incorporates the material from the most recent 6^th edition of the APA Publication Manual.  This chapter also includes a more recent and shorter sample research article demonstrating the APA guidelines.
• A full Glossary of key terms and concepts is included at the end of the book
