About this ebook
Research Methods for the Behavioral Sciences (6th Edition) by Frederick J. Gravetter and Lori-Ann B. Forzano, published by Cengage Learning in 2018, is an academic textbook that guides students step-by-step through the entire research process in psychology and related behavioral fields. [1, 2]
Book Overview and Core Style
  • Authors: Frederick J. Gravetter (late professor emeritus at SUNY Brockport) and Lori-Ann B. Forzano (professor of psychology at SUNY Brockport). [1]
  • Teaching Style: Uses a conversational "lecture in a book" approach to make complex design and statistical concepts easy to follow. [1, 2, 3, 4]
  • Focus: Emphasizes practical decision-making rather than just memorizing facts. It explains how researchers choose specific ideas, measures, and participant groups. [1, 2, 3]
  • Guidelines: Aligns fully with current APA guidelines and formatting standards. [1]
Key Topics Covered
  • Getting Started: Generating good research ideas, forming testable hypotheses, and finding background topics. [1, 2, 3, 4, 5]
  • Measurement & Sampling: Selecting valid research measures and choosing correct sampling techniques (such as random or stratified sampling). [1, 2]
  • Research Designs:
    • Experimental designs (true experiments tracking cause and effect)
    • Nonexperimental and descriptive designs (correlational, observational, and survey methods)
    • Quasi-experimental designs (comparing groups when random assignment is not possible) [1, 2, 3]
  • Ethics: Reviewing proper ethical standards for human and animal research subjects. [1]
