Summary

An Introduction to Conducting Research in Psychology.Note to the Instructor.From our vantage point, research in psychology is like a detective case; hence, the title we have chosen. The Psychologist as Detective. A problem resents itself, clues are discovered, bits of evidence that compete for our attention must be evaluated and accepted or discarded, and, finally, a report or summary of the case (research) is prepared for consideration by our peers.Note to the Student.Throughout this text we have tried to make it perfectly clear that research is something that you can (and should) become involved in. We hope you will enjoy reading about the student projects that we use as research examples throughout this text. Student research projects are making valuable contributions to our field.
