Like any other research tool, observational methods can be misused. Professors Yoder and Symons have put together a textbook that introduces graduate students to the competent conduct of observational research methods and measurement. Their approach embraces both single-subject and group-design perspectives of observational methods, instructing students when and how to use both methodologies. In addition, the authors include many practical exercises within chapters as well as a CD Rom that includes media files of an observation session to code with multiple behavior sampling methods.

This comprehensive textbook introduces graduate students to the competent conduct of observational research methods and measurement. The unique approach of this book is that the chapters delineate not only the techniques and mechanics of observational methods, but also the theoretical and conceptual underpinnings of these methods.
The observational methods presented can be used for both single-subject and group-design perspectives, showing students how and when to use both methodologies. In addition, the authors provide many practical exercises within chapters as well as electronic media files of a sample observation session to code with multiple behavior sampling methods.
