Developmental Research Methods

This classic text successfully provides a comprehensive overview of methods to prepare students to carry out, report, and evaluate research on human development, with a focus on the whole lifespan. Scott Miller explores every step in the research process, from the initial concept to the final written product, covering conceptual issues of experimental design as well as the procedural skills necessary to translate design into research. Along the way, Miller provides up-to-date discussions of some of the most currently active and important research areas in developmental psychology, such as infant cognition, attachment, self-concept, theory of mind, and applied developmental science.
