Writing Psychological Research Reports teaches students how to comply with currently prevailing standards when writing reports of literature studies or experimental research. Step bij step it takes the reader through every aspect of writing up a literature study or composing a research report. It deals with every angle, from the choice of subject to reporting their own or other people’s research results and applying the APA-style guidelines. The many tips and tools also make it a useful reference work for professional practitioners.
