Acknowledgments
This book would certainly not exist without the support of several organizations and individuals. California State University, Fresno has provided me the space and time to conduct research, to teach about conducting research, and now to write about conducting research. My colleagues in the Department of Psychology have been generous with their advice and encouragement. Karl Oswald and Connie Jones, in particular, have been a valued source of ideas related to teaching—especially the teaching of research methods—for many years now. On the publishing side, Michael Boezi, Jenn Yee, and Melissa Yu were instrumental in bringing version 1.0 into existence. The same is true of the incredibly patient Lindsey Kaetzel for versions 2.0, 2.1, and 3.0.
