Conducting Applied Psychological Research: A Guide for Students and Practitioners

This book aims to describe a number of research methods that are specifically useful for psychologists working in applied settings. This includes psychologists in training, such as clinical, counselling, health and educational psychologists, but also includes psychologists who are already working in applied settings, have had previous training but maybe feel rusty regarding research methods. The book aims to introduce some particular features that make applied psychological research distinct, including the reality of often having small sample sizes available. It will then outline a number of relevant research methods that work well in an applied setting. Charlotte Emma Wilson is Professor of Clinical Psychology at Trinity College Dublin, Ireland.
