Making Research Matter

A Psychologist's Guide to Public Engagement
Edited by Linda R. Tropp
The landmark Brown v. Board of Education case, in which the Supreme Court cited psychological
evidence in overturning school segregation, is just one example of the positive and noteworthy impact
social science research can have on the world beyond academia. But many researchers today have
trouble communicating with non-academic audiences and engaging the broader society. With pointers
on talking to the media, testifying as an expert witness, dealing with governmental organizations,
working with schools and students, and influencing public policy, this volume helps social scientists
forge the vital link between scholarship and social engagement.

Critical Thinking About Research
Psychology and Related Fields
SECOND EDITION

Julian Meltzoff and Harris M. Cooper
To become informed consumers of research, students need to thoughtfully evaluate the research they
read rather than accept it without question. This second edition of a classic text gives students what
they need to apply critical reasoning when reading behavioral science research. It updates the original
text with recent developments in research methods, including a new chapter on meta-analyses. The
first part gives a thorough overview of the steps in a research project. It focuses on how to assess
whether the conclusions drawn in a behavioral science report are warranted by the methods used
in the research. The second part allows readers to practice critical thinking with a series of fictitious
journal articles containing built-in flaws in method and interpretation. Clever and engaging, each article
is accompanied by a commentary that points out the errors of procedure and logic that have been
deliberately embedded in the article.

Modern Parliamentary Procedure
SECOND EDITION
Ray E. Keesey
In 1971, Ray E. Keesey developed a guidebook that revolutionized parliamentary procedure. By
eliminating misleading terminology and simplifying many of the complex and overly technical aspects of
the traditional parliamentary process, Keesey's book offered clear rules of order for efficient democratic
action in deliberative meetings. Thanks to its accessibility and lack of jargon, the Keesey System allows
readers to quickly comprehend and implement the rules without needing to be experts on parliamentary
process, and has become widely used by large deliberate bodies and small associations, including the
American Psychological Association. Revised and updated with the expertise of the American Institute
of Parliamentarians, this second edition includes rules that relate to technological innovations such as
electronic voting and offsite attendees.
