Reviews for Conducting Psychological Research: Developing Skills for Career Success and Social Impact

The book addresses things students may have wondered about but were afraid to ask. * Prof. Greg Maio, University of Bath * I actually thoroughly enjoyed reading this text which is no mean feat for a research methods/statistics textbook. I would describe it as a thorough and detailed companion text for advanced students conducting research. * Dr. Luke Hodson, University of Warwick * A systematic approach to details of the academic journey that some lecturers might take for granted, but which are likely not straightforward for students, with relatable examples and relevant figures. * Dr. Valerie van Mulukom, Oxford Brookes University * I am looking forward to being able to recommend this textbook to my students - I think it fills a gap and will provide a valuable resource to help students develop into thoughtful independent researchers. * Dr. Alex Benjamin, University of York *
