This book expertly guides the reader through all stages involved
in undertaking quantitative psychological research, from accessing
the relevant literature, through designing and conducting a study,
analysing and interpreting data, and finally reporting the
research.
This third edition includes two new chapters - on preliminary
checking of data and allowing for additional variables when
comparing the means of different conditions - and expands on
original topics such as choosing sample sizes and how to test for
mediation effects. It also contains increased coverage of tests and
further detail of techniques and terms which psychologists will
meet when working with those in the medical professions. As the
chapters focus on choosing appropriate statistical tests and how to
interpret and report them (rather than the detailed calculations,
which appear in appendices), the reader is able to gain an
understanding of a test without being interrupted by the need to
understand the complex mathematics behind it. In addition, for the
first time, the book is accompanied by an online bank of multiple
choice questions.
The book helps readers to:
- Locate reports of relevant existing research
- Design research while adhering to ethical principles
- Identify various methods which can be used to ask questions or
observe behaviour
- Choose appropriate samples
- Display and analyse findings numerically and graphically to
test hypotheses
- Report psychological research in a variety of ways.
As such, the book is suitable for psychology students and
professionals at all levels, and is particularly useful to those
working in Health and Clinical Psychology.
