Abstract

Diese Einführung in die Forschungsmethoden der Psychologie von Dennis HOWITT und Duncan CRAMER ist der dritte Band einer Serie, nachdem sie zuvor bereits eines über Statistik in der Psychologie und eines über SPSS für Windows vorgelegt haben. In dem vorliegenden "Introduction to Research Methods in Psychology" werden Themen und Verfahren ohne theoretische Begründung vorgestellt, entsprechend werden qualitative Methoden unter eine generelle Logik von Forschung subsumiert (integriert) und damit wenig überzeugend für Studierende eingeführt. Der Band hinterlässt den Eindruck, er sei am besten für traditionell ausgerichtete psychologische Fachrichtungen adressiert. URN: urn:nbn:de:0114-fqs080168
