A host of special methodological issues arise in any discussion of research on human behavior. This practical new volume addresses many of those questions with 19 superb contributions from leading experts in the field. The text evaluates specific strategies and techniques used in laboratory settings, including - reinforcement and punishment - stimulus control - behavioral pharmacology - and methodologies concerning verbal and social behavior, among others. The book includes 135 illustrations and a notable Appendix that offers the APA's ethical guidelines for research with human subjects. Booknews Describes methods used to study basic behavioral processes and provides detailed information on specific research problems, as well as more general information about the experimental analysis of human behavior applicable to many content areas and research settings. Contains sections on basic considerations, reinforcement and punishment, stimulus control, verbal and social behavior, and new directions. Specific topics include the human subject, laboratory methods in human behavioral ecology, and self-experimentation. Includes an appendix on ethical guidelines in research with humans.
