Description
Los m todos experimentales se utilizan para investigar la psicolog a social, psicolog a del desarrollo, las diferencias individuales y muchos otros temas (como la psicolog a del medio ambiente) que no fueron considerados en la visi n de la psicolog a hace 80 a os. El uso de los m todos experimentales se ha ampliado para incluir m s 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 cap tulos constituyen la primera parte, Fundamentos de la investigaci n, y aborda algunos conceptos metodol gicos b sicos que los estudiantes necesitan. En estos cap tulos se describen algunos aspectos generales de la ciencia y la construcci n de teor as; las caracter sticas de (y las diferencias entre) observacional, correlacional y los m todos experimentales (con un nfasis en las ltimas), las cuestiones ticas en la investigaci n y c mo leer y escribir reportes de investigaci n. En los 10 cap tulos restantes, que conforman la segunda parte, Principios y pr cticas de investigaci n, se profundiza en el esqueleto de la primera parte ilustrando temas metodol gicos en el contexto de los pro- blemas reales de investigaci n. Los cap tulos presentan temas metodol gicos en el contexto de la investigaci n actual. Esta organizaci n refleja la creencia de que la mejor manera de proporcionar a los estudiantes una comprensi n de la metodolog a es encajarlo en el marco de los problemas reales que se dan en la realizaci n de la investigaci n. La metodolog a no existe en un vac o, sino que est ideada para resolver problemas concretos de investigaci n.
