The SAGE Library in Social and Personality Psychology Methods

I am pleased to be the editor of this series for Sage Publications. In each volume, a technique (or class of techniques) is described in a straightforward way that is desgined to acquaint and inform readers about the techniuqe. These descriptions are very specific and are intended to provide sufficient detail to allow readers who are unfamiliar with a technique to use it in their research. Presently, the series consists of seven volumes, six of which have been published, and one of which is in preparation.

More about the series is available at the followig website: Sage Website
