This classic text gives students what they need to apply critical reasoning when reading behavioural science research. It begins with a thorough overview of the research process, focusing on how to assess whether the conclusions drawn in a behavioural science report are warranted by the methods used in the research. It then provides fictional research articles with built-in flaws so readers can practice their critical thinking skills.
