At its foundational level, the heart of science is that its methods allow for others to believe its results. This foundation is served by trust, accuracy, and transparency. Unfortunately, current research practices in psychology are known to produce inaccurate, irreproducible, and imprecise results.

This book introduces a plethora of strategies to help strengthen the field by improving research quality.

Readers will learn how research methods are evolving and how to maximize the quality and impact of their own work. This includes strategies for not just developing research ideas, designing studies, and analyzing and disseminating results, but also evaluating and responding to the research of others.

Toward a More Perfect Psychology is a vital step in making psychology a stronger, more rigorous science.
