Programmatic approach to psychology research methodologies Research Methods: A Process of Inquiry is a comprehensive research methodology text that is carefully constructed to introduce important topics in a systematic, conceptually relevant way. Complex concepts such as validity, operational definitions, and statistical inference are introduced early in the text, but only to the degree needed at that point — they are then expanded later in the text. This approach creates a coherent model that makes complex material more accessible for students.
