Methods of Research in Social Psychology

Of all the books I have used in research methods courses, this one is by far the best. It is written in a clear and engaging style, with plenty of excellent examples. The authors cover everything from the most basic (like the difference between an independent and dependent variable) to the most advanced techniques and strategies for designing a tight, valid experiment. This book was a joy to read and I highly recommend it to anyone with an interest in social science research methods.
