With over 50 combined years of teaching experience, Randolph A. Smith and Stephen F. Davis's interest, knowledge, and enthusiasm for psychological research shines through. Smith and Davis's approach to psychological research helps students broaden their perceptions of the field and encourages critical examination of all of its facets. By focusing on actively engaging students through such features as The Psychological Detective and Check Your Progress, the authors help students develop skills key to successful research. With updated examples, studies, and material, The Psychologist as Detective, Fourth Edition, continues to be an essential text for students entering the world of psychological research. - Back cover.
