At its foundational level, the heart of science is that its methods allow for others to believe its results. This foundation is served by trust, accuracy, and transparency. Unfortunately, current research practices in psychology are known to produce inaccurate, irreproducible, and imprecise results.
This book introduces a plethora of strategies to help strengthen the field by improving research quality. Readers will learn how research methods are evolving and how to maximize the quality and impact of their own work. This includes strategies for not just developing research ideas, designing studies, and analyzing and disseminating results, but also evaluating and responding to the research of others. Toward a More Perfect Psychology is a vital step in making psychology a stronger, more rigorous science.
Includes bibliographical references and index.

CHOICE Review
Conducting research well in any scientific discipline is difficult. However, when the subject of one's investigation changes its shape across contexts as it is being studied, the difficulty is compounded. This message emerges clearly in Toward a More Perfect Psychology. This edited volume elucidates significant issues in creating new scientific knowledge. As the various authors explain, barriers to effective knowledge generation and acceptance appear in planning research projects, continue through the execution and review of projects, and persist as results and implications of research reach both academic and popular audiences. Then there are the issues of reproducibility and validity of results that have become well known in psychological, biomedical, and other scientific domains. Each writer in the volume lays out aspects of these dimensions and discusses potential strategies to avoid common pitfalls, including changing the culture of decision making in the research community. Investigative methods and statistical techniques have become increasingly complex in the past few decades. This book does a superb job of highlighting critical aspects of how psychological science has responded to these complexities. Summing Up: Recommended. Graduate students, faculty, and professionals. --Bernard C. Beins, Ithaca CollegeNotas de autor provistas por Syndetics
