The author of the monograph is in the process of preparing a publication with the fast "recipes" from the field of methodology and statistics. The "cook book" will be probably used primarily by university students for writing their bachelor´s degree works and dissertations, for planning research studies and experiments etc. because appropriately grasped and processed research problem is considered the most important in the scientific work. The more precisely it is defined, the faster and the more efficient the achievement of results can be as well as the confirmation or disconfirmation of research hypotheses. The combination of theoretical knowledge with the personal experience ("lived" empiricism) often yields a deep insight into the issue, which is associated with a strong "emotional charge". This is why the author´s wish is to "address" in the future readers as much as possible all these three components (theoretical thinking, practical behaviour and emotional "temper") since they constitute the fundamental "construction material" in building attitudes in people without which their close and positive relation to any reality including science would be very difficult to gain.
