Web-based research methodology has evolved since the development of
the world wide web in the 1990s and has proliferated and
diversified with layers upon layers of new major developments in
internet technology and life generally (e.g., search engines,
social media, smartphones, Open Science). This volume presents a
selection of state-of-the-art contributions on web-based research
in psychology. Expert authors explore research methodology,
including new methods made possible through the web or research
that cannot be done without the web. In addition, research ethics,
which have special characteristics in the online research
environment, are addressed to varying degrees, including deception
and inclusivity. Further topics presented range from how web-based
research can advance our knowledge on perception to the adoption of
Open Science (including sharing data, materials, and
preregistrations), as well as how behavior is observed in web-based
research. This collection of contributions is a showcase of the
creativity of researchers to find nifty new ways to harness the web
to advance psychological research.
Careful data collection and analysis lies at the heart of good
research, through which our understanding of psychology is
enhanced. Yet the students who will become the next generation of
researchers need more exposure to statistics and experimental
design than a typical introductory course presents.
Experimental Design and Analysis for Psychology provides a complete
course in data collection and analysis for students who need to go
beyond the basics.
Acting as a true course companion, the text's engaging writing
style leads readers through a range of often challenging topics,
blending examples and exercises with careful explanations and
custom-drawn figures to ensure even the most daunting concepts can
be fully understood.
Opening with a review of key concepts, including probability,
correlation, and regression, the book goes on to explore the
analysis of variance and factorial designs, before moving on to
consider a range of more specialised, but yet powerful, statistical
tools, including the General Linear Model, and the concept of
unbalanced designs.
Not just a printed book, Experimental Design and Analysis for
Psychology is enhanced by a range of online materials, all of which
add to its value as an ideal teaching and learning resource.
