Book SynopsisUsing a series of over 40 case studies, this valuable text illustrates the processes and pitfalls involved in evaluating psychological research. Invites students to consider whether the conclusion drawn at the end of each case is correct, or whether the results could have an alternative explanation. Cross-referencing between sections is made easy by page references that link the case studies and explanations. Cases reflect the range of research methods taught at undergraduate level and include qualitative research. Gives students an understanding of methodological problems. Equips students to critically evaluate published research. The author and publishers have made every effort to be fair to the authors of the research described in this book. Like all sciences, psychology Trade Review"A thoroughly engaging book which carries the reader from one intriguing set of questions to another, this is an absorbing read which provides a real stimulant for student project ideas and a wonderful source of ideas for tutorial topics. I would certainly want my students to read it!" Hugh Foot, University of Strathclyde "An excellent supplement to courses in experimental research methods, critical thinking, problem solving, and cognitive psychology. Instructors can easily select course-appropriate cases to increase the depth of student's knowledge and understanding of material." Dr Kirsten Rewey, psychology research methods instructor, Minnesota "Dunbar's book fills a gap in undergraduate research methods texts. Often texts illustrate aspects of statistics using actual studies but just give general guidance on other aspects of study design. Here, Dunbar has provided undergraduate readers with a well selected, interesting set of illustrative examples that illuminate these other, often neglected, aspects of research design. This book will be a useful source for anyone involved in the teaching of undergraduate research methods. Students will find the book's organisation guides them through a variety of aspects of study design and highlights the potential pitfalls with concrete examples of good (and less good...) practice."

Book SynopsisThis book is the first to synthesise this exciting new area for undergraduates. Taking a topic-based approach, it emphasises the social contexts of development and the developmental aspects of social reasoning and social behaviour.Trade Review"This is an excellent book in many respects. It provides a detailed review of a wide range of issues of concern to developmental and social psychologists. It further provides a basis for a theoretical and methodological integration of these two branches of psychological investigation..... It is easily accessible, thoughtfully organized and clearly written. It will be of interest to teachers and researchers in these areas and will provide an invaluable sourcebook for students." British Journal of Developmental Psychology "... this book is notable for its strengths and remarkable as the work of one person. It is also an accurate reflection of a wide range of theory and research in basic developmental and social psychology and, especially, the points of intersection of those specialities." Contemporary Psychology "All in all, Durkin's book constitutes a thorough, well-organized and impeccably referenced textbook... Developmental Social Psychology is an invaluable source for any undergraduate studying developmental psychology, and all the more so for the novel connections it invites the student to make between the social and developmental literature." BPS Developmental Psychology Section Newsletter, Spring 98 "Durkin's textbook provides a representative overview of the discipline, one which addresses developmental psychology's Achilles heel, the child's relation with the social world. Developmental Social Psychology belongs to that genre of core undergraduate textbooks with representative chapters on infancy, language, social cognition, adolescence, moral development, adulthood and old age, and I have little doubt that it will be hailed as a comprehensive introduction to developmental psychology with a social-psychological orientation."
