This text provides a concrete roadmap for the design and implimentation of experiments using human participants. It covers both conceptual and practical issues that are critical to experimental methods and the organization of the book follows the standard process in experiment-based research.

Both students and instructors will find this book accessible and easy to use. The detailed guidance on each step of an experiment is particularly useful for people with little or no previous training in research methodology. Further, the example studies will serve as effective 'recipes' to help students organize their experimental studies.

- a separate chapter on ethics examines ethical considerations necessary for running experiments with human participants

- a separate chapter covers essential information on IRBs (Institutional Review Boards)

- provides example studies with a brief synopsis of procedural steps. so that students can learn detailed procedures for preparing and running an experiment.
