Designing and Reporting Experiments in Psychology provides comprehensive guidance for undergraduate psychology students on writing practical reports of experimental and other quantitative studies. This fully updated fourth edition offers more detailed advice, guidelines, and recommendations than previous versions, aligning with the seventh edition of the APA guidelines. The book covers various forms of quantitative study, including online research and questionnaire-based studies, as well as experiments. It includes helpful features such as test yourself questions, self-reflection exercises, summary sections, and an index of concepts to aid revision. The authors also provide updated advice on referencing and citing sources, as well as expanded coverage of ethics in quantitative research. Written by experienced academics, this book is designed to support students throughout their degree, from initial report writing stages to final year undergraduate projects.
