The fourth Canadian edition of Cozby Methods in Behavioural Research provides students with the skills they need to think scientifically. Scientific thinking requires viewing the world and understanding its complexity to determine how to best solve difficult problems. There are many different paths and ways to do this, and the goal of this resource is to help students identify the best option.

Cozby is known for its clear writing style and readability. The new edition builds on that tradition by including more descriptive chapter titles and edits throughout to provide additional clarity and greater inclusivity. Also new to the fourth Canadian edition are two new chapters focused on sampling and qualitative methods, as well as expanded content on the use of statistical software.
