Description
Los metodos experimentales se utilizan para investigar la psicologia social, psicologia del desarrollo, las diferencias individuales y muchos otros temas (como la psicologia del medio ambiente) que no fueron considerados en la vision de la psicologia hace 80 anos. El uso de los metodos experimentales se ha ampliado para incluir mas temas en el campo. Escribir un libro de texto destinado a este tema se ha convertido en un reto cada vez mayor. El libro consta de dos partes principales. Los cinco primeros capitulos constituyen la primera parte, Fundamentos de la investigacion, y aborda algunos conceptos metodologicos basicos que los estudiantes necesitan. En estos capitulos se describen algunos aspectos generales de la ciencia y la construccion de teorias; las caracteristicas de (y las diferencias entre) observacional, correlacional y los metodos experimentales (con un enfasis en las ultimas), las cuestiones eticas en la investigacion y como leer y escribir reportes de investigacion. En los 10 capitulos restantes, que conforman la segunda parte, Principios y practicas de investigacion, se profundiza en el esqueleto de la primera parte ilustrando temas metodologicos en el contexto de los pro- blemas reales de investigacion. Los capitulos presentan temas metodologicos en el contexto de la investigacion actual. Esta organizacion refleja la creencia de que la mejor manera de proporcionar a los estudiantes una comprension de la metodologia es encajarlo en el marco de los problemas reales que se dan en la realizacion de la investigacion. La metodologia no existe en un vacio, sino que esta ideada para resolver problemas concretos de investigacion.
