Hugh Coolican Book order (chronological)

This title aims to provide psychology students with an introduction to all major aspects of psychology. This edition has been re-written and re-structured in line with AS and A level specifications. The book is divided into two major parts. Part one covers material needed for AS level and comprises cognitive and developmental psychology, physiological psychology and individual differences, as well as social psychology and research methods. Part two covers A level material, which comprises social, physiological, cognitive, developmental, and comparative psychology as well as individual differences and perspectives.

Research Methods and Statistics in Psychology provides a comprehensive survey of current research methods in psychology combined with a clearly and carefully explained guide to statistical ideas and techniques. Both non-experimental and traditional experimental methods are treated in depth. In addition, quantitative and qualitative approaches are fully covered. Each chapter deals with a different topic and ends with an exercise section to test material covered in that chapter. There are also ten structured questions at the end of the book, modelled on the A-level practical questions, involving all topics covered in the book. The book's clear, friendly approach will make this notoriously problematic area much more accessible to students of psychology at A-level or in higher or further education.
