It's been 7 years since the last revision of Introducing Psychological Research (Banyard & Grayson) but what has this recent 3rd Edition brought us? The PsychBLOG review: Let's get inside.
For students studying OCR AS Psychology this is a gem of a book. This book summarises most of the core studies (both current and new specification) concisely - although Savage-Rumbaugh (1986) is surprisingly absent. From start to finish you have psychology in a readable and witty style; talking of highly controlled social psychological studies Phil says:
"[The studies] are often brilliantly controlled and scientifically rigorous but bear as much resemblance to social interaction as an Oxo cube does to a cow. Such studies can be described as impeccable trivia."
As well as the core studies, there are also other `classic' (and not-so-classic) studies in psychology which could come in use for coursework, second-year modules, or just general interest to stretch and challenge the more able student. The book covers a good foundation of psychological perspectives from cognitive to comparative, and if that isn't enough, the chapter on methodology is probably one of the best I have ever read.

I would recommend this book in a heartbeat to anyone doing Psychology at degree level, and even A Level psychology! It has about 70 studies which have shaped Psychology of which some of the most famous and controversial studies done. It has every study a teacher or lecturer could throw at you, with tables and graphs of the results. As I have said in the title of this review it's easily the best textbook I have and if you need a textbook of the classic studies done in Psychology then this is your book!.
Listmania!
