Rezensionen

"This book harks back to a time when 'Handbooks' were an essentialingredient for advanced undergraduate and graduate education inexperimental psychology. The book does a marvelous job of surveyingthe wide discipline that is now experimental psychology withcoverage in each chapter giving at least a nod to the historicalfoundations in that area. The Goodwin chapter alone is worth thecost of the book." Randall W. Engle, Georgia Institute ofTechnology

"Davis' 'Handbook' would be a useful addition to an advancedundergraduate or graduate level course in general experimentalpsychology or research methods. Chapters that present researchmethods in the historical perspective are very good, and as severalof the authors point out, clearly show that research methods arenot static, but rather have and continue to evolve. I especiallyappreciate the inclusion of several chapters that deal withresearch employing non-human subjects." Daniel D. Moriarty,University of San Diego

"Those psychology libraries that do support a serious academicresearch programme will find this book to be an invaluable sourceof background reading, to be used in conjunction with standardmanuals on research methods, rather than replacing them. I willcertainly be recommending it as such to first-year postgraduates inmy own institution." Martin Guha, Librarian, Institute ofPsychiatry, London, Reference Reviews 2003

"Davis's fine collection will prove helpful to those seeking anintroduction to the topics that engage researchers today. Summingup: Recommended. Upper-division undergraduates through research,faculty, and professionals." G. B. Rollman, University ofWestern Ontario, Choice, January 2004
