Infos

Research methods (and statistics) underpin much of the work undertaken in applied sport psychology settings and remain at the heart of scholarship in undergraduate and postgraduate courses and professional practice training. Students benefit from learning to understand, synthesise, and critique research in their field of study; however, to learn these skills, they need suitable precepts to guide their learning. This new textbook combines five main areas within applied sport psychology: 1. conceptual issues about science and knowledge; 2. research process (ethics, planning research, etc.); 3. methods (designs, sampling, surveys, interviews, etc.); 4. data analysis (parametric/nonparametric tests, qualitative methods etc.); and 5. reporting research (writing a journal article). Research Methods in Applied Sport Psychology begins with an introduction to conceptual issues within sport and exercise psychology to orient the student about science and knowledge before examining the planning, designing, and starting of research projects. The book then goes on to explore the various methods and issues that arise in research then introduces data analysis for qualitative and quantitative research. This new text, the first to examine research methods specifically for sport psychology is key reading for all sport and exercise psychology undergraduate and post -graduate students as well as invaluable reading for students on sport and exercise science courses who are set to undertake a research project.
