What is Leary's book Introduction to Behavioral Research Methods about?

  • The book focuses on the four main approaches to behavioral research; namely descriptive research, correlational research, experimental research and quasi-experimental research. The book explains how to conduct these methods and how to analyse the results. The book also examines the ethical issues that may arise during research into human behavior.

What are the main differences between the 6th and 7th editions?

  • The subject of 'replicating research' is discussed in more detail.
  • The difference between reflective and formative measurements is explained in more detail.
  • Information has been added about doing research via the Internet, in view of the fact that the use of telephones with Internet connection has increased enormously in recent years.
  • The disadvantages and shortcomings of the traditional 0-hypothesis significance test are discussed further. Alternative methods for statistical inference are also discussed, including with regard to confidence intervals and effect sizes.
  • The order of topics dealt with within Chapters 11 and 12 has changed.
  • Information has been added about the safety of research via computers and the confidentiality of data.
  • Given the major fraud cases that have played a role since the last edition, information has also been added on this subject.
  • A new topic has been added, namely "ethical issues when analyzing research data and reporting the results".
