New Releases by Elliot Aronson

Here is a detailed guide for students who will design and implement their own independent research. It examines the complete process of experimentation: asking the right question and translating it into a workable design, setting the stage for data collection, designing dependent variable measures, avoiding bias, conducting the post-experimental interview, and writing up the results. Although the approach of the book is primarily practical, it also confronts substantive issues such as ethics, design, validity, and measurement.

Draws upon firsthand experience and extensive research to offer an updated look at this painful syndrome, with new insights into its causes and danger signs and innovative ideas for its prevention and cure.
