This book expertly guides the reader through all stages involved in undertaking quantitative psychological research from accessing the relevant literature through designing & conducting a study analyzing & interpreting data & finally reporting the research. This third edition

Includes:: two new chapters
- on preliminary checking of data & on allowing for additional variables when comparing the means of different conditions
- & expands on original topics such as choosing sample sizes & how to test for mediation effects. It also contains increased coverage of tests & further detail of techniques & terms which psychologists will meet when working with those in the medical professions. As the chapters focus on choosing appropriate statistical tests & how to interpret & report them (rather than the detailed calculations which appear in appendices) the reader is able to gain an understanding of a test without being interrupted by the need to understand the complex mathematics behind it. In addition for the first time the book is accompanied by an online bank of multiple choice questions. The book helps readers to: locate reports of relevant existing research; design research while adhering to ethical principles; identify various methods which can be used to ask questions or observe behavior; choose appropriate samples; display & analyze findings numerically & graphically to test hypotheses; & report psychological research in a variety of ways. As such the book is suitable for psychology students & professionals at all levels & is particularly useful to those working in Health & Clinical Psychology.

Quantum mechanics underpins modern science & provides us with a blueprint for reality itself. & yet it has been said that if you're not shocked by it you don't understand it. But is quantum physics really so unknowable? Is reality really so strange? & just how can cats be half-alive & half-dead at the same time? Our journey into the quantum begins with nature's own conjuring trick in which we discover that atoms -- contrary to the rules of everyday experience -- can exist in two locations at once. To understand this we travel back to the dawn of the twentieth century & witness the birth of quantum theory which over the next one hundred years was to overthrow so many of our deeply held notions about the nature of our universe. Scientists & philosophers have been left grappling with its implications every since. ...

Everyone knows that sub-atomic particles have some very strange qualities. Light sometimes behaves like a particle sometimes like a wave. Objects separated by vast distances interact faster than the speed of light
- what Einstein called 'spooky action at a distance'. Most strangely the behaviour of objects somehow seems be determined in retrospect depending on what the observer is looking for. In this ground-breaking work the authors show how these quantum properties are being observed in larger & larger objects. They set out carefully & cautiously exactly what quantum theory might mean for us. Quantum physics presents an unanswerable challenge to our common sense understanding of the universe & the final explanation might not come from physics at all but from the equally strange world of cognitive neuro-science
- the mysteries of mind & matter might be one & the same.
