Fully revised and updated, this new edition includes:
- five new chapters on data elicitation tasks, tests and measures, interviews, questionnaires, and digital and multimodal data collection
- the expertise of a new co-author
- model research where the technique is used to collect data in successfully published studies
- pre-reading activities (think, discuss, imagine)
- post-reading activities (reflect, expand, apply)
- global case studies
- further reading suggestions and an updated glossary
- a new companion website that includes lecture slides and discussions tasks based on the case studies.
