First sentence: The purpose of this book is to give assistance, ideas and confidence to those who, for good and honourable reasons, wish to carry out some kind of investigation involving people in 'real life' situations; to draw attention to some of the issues and complexities involved; and to generate a degree of informed enthusiasm for a particularly challenging and important area of work.
Description: This text furnishes students with the skills necessary in order to conduct research outside the laboratory, in "real world" situations. For the second edition, the text has been thoroughly revised in order to bring it up-to-date, and to make it as useful as possible for teachers and students from a range of behavioural and social science disciplines.
