Applied Psychology
Advanced Research Methods for Applied Psychology provides a
comprehensive discussion of 21 key topics for the completion of an applied
psychology (or similar) research thesis/project.
The book provides a one-stop shop for the current issues and discussions
of key research methods and common statistical analysis techniques but
avoids being a step-by-step instruction guide. The book is divided into four
sections, representing the stages of thesis completion: getting started, data
collection, data analysis, and reporting research. Each chapter presents
a detailed scholarly discussion on a topic and represents the most up-to-
date reference for that topic. The chapters also provide key references for
further detailed readings and guides. The chapters are authored by leading
researchers from all around the world. This book discusses both emerging
and traditional research methods commonly utilised within applied
psychology research projects and directly assists early researchers in
providing an informed discussion of their decisions relating to their choice
of, for example, research sampling, the use of diary studies, appropriate
survey time-lags, conducting systematic reviews, and the macro and micro
process issues involved with conducting organisational interventions.
This book is an important reference text for applied psychology research
thesis/project students and researchers, including both undergraduate and
postgraduate students. It will be of interest to applied psychology researchers
in all felds (clinical, organisational, developmental, forensic, etc.) and
to those in other disciplines. The book provides coverage of advanced
research methods and statistical topics and is suitable for adoption for these
courses in honours/postgraduate levels of study within applied psychology
and related felds.
