I am looking for an introductory text that covers (1) the variety of ways we collect data - surveys, laboratory experiments, tests, naturalistic observation, etc (2) descriptive statistics & correlations, and (3) the basics of reliability and validity .. A few years ago I used Sommer & Sommer's "A practical guide to behavioral research" and I don't know if it is still in print. I also have used Rosnow and Rosenthal's 'Beginning behavioral research" (their undergraduate text, not their "essentials" for graduate work) which actually hits all 3 areas, but don't know if it is still out there .. any suggestions about other texts will be appreciated.
