Critical Thinking in PsychologyRobert J. Sternberg, Henry L. Roediger, Diane F. Halpern Cambridge University Press, 2007 - 340 halaman Good scientific research depends on critical thinking at least as much as factual knowledge; psychology is no exception to this rule. And yet, despite the importance of critical thinking, psychology students are rarely taught how to think critically about the theories, methods, and concepts they must use. This book shows students and researchers how to think critically about key topics such as experimental research, statistical inference, case studies, logical fallacies, and ethical judgments. |
