I&#8217;ve received quite a few emails recently about the textbooks. Normally these are the kinds of questions that would receive an answer along the lines of \u00a0&#8220;please check your syllabus&#8221; &#8212; however, considering I haven&#8217;t quite finished it yet, I can&#8217;t exactly expect you to consult it.<\/p>\n<p>Here&#8217;s what you need:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Cozby, P. C., &amp; Rawn, C. D. (2012). <em>Methods in Behavioural Research<\/em>(Canadian Ed.). Toronto, ON: McGraw-Hill Ryerson.\n<ul>\n<li>This is a nuts-and-bolts style guide to research methods that focuses on the details of how to conduct research. Available new from the bookstore, or electronically on <a href=\"http:\/\/www.coursesmart.com\/methods-in-behavioural-research-canadian\/cozby-paul-rawn-catherine\/dp\/0071340688\">Coursesmart<\/a>. *Note that used editions do not exist because this edition is brand new.<\/li>\n<li>Yes, I am the second author. Please note that I am donating all royalties from UBC sales to UBC scholarships.<\/li>\n<li><em>Can you use an old edition?<\/em> No, I do not recommend it. Here are a few reasons why. First off: most examples are changed, updated, and now integrate Canadian culture, terminology, and research (spot your profs in the reference list!). Second, I totally overhauled the ethics chapter to reflect the Canadian context of conducting research (e.g., in terms of government, terminology, structure). The old one is all-American. Third, I&#8217;ve improved the book based on two rounds of (Canadian) reviews as well as my own experiences teaching this course for the past four years. You&#8217;ll notice a synergy between what happens in class (e.g., diagrams, ways of explaining things), and the textbook. Fourth, I&#8217;ve added extra features to help you learn. For example, I&#8217;ve re-worked the learning objectives so that it&#8217;s clearer what to do with them, and I&#8217;ve ensured every bolded term is in the glossary, which wasn&#8217;t true before&#8230;. Changes like that that will make it easier for you to learn from this text.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<li>Stanovich, K. E. (2009).\u00a0<em>How to Think Straight about Psychology<\/em>(9th Ed.). Boston, MA: Pearson.\n<ul>\n<li>This guide to research methods provides a nice complement to the details of the first text. It is written from a bigger picture perspective. Available new and used from the bookstore. If you buy it new from the bookstore, it comes with a $10 off i&gt;clicker coupon and a free guide to APA style.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<li>Cuttler, C. (2010). Research Methods in Psychology. Dubuque, IA: Kendall Hunt.\n<ul>\n<li>This is the lab guide &#8212; created for our Psych 217 labs &#8212; that will help you and your teammates work step-by-step to create a successful research project.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<li>i&gt;clicker Student Response System, available new and used from the bookstore.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Hope that&#8217;s a helpful start. I&#8217;ll post the syllabus later this week when I have it complete.
