Book excerpt: Forty-two international academics contribute 22 chapters addressing the common and unique methodological decisions that researchers must make when using both traditional and cutting-edge research paradigms. Coverage includes issues relating to selecting and identifying research questions and populations, design and analysis, and expanding the original social psychological questions to other disciplines within and outside psychology. Each chapter follows the same format, first describing a concrete and relevant social psychological research problem, then discussing methodological issues in the context of that problem. For active researchers, including graduate and advanced undergraduate students. Annotation (c)2003 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com).
