This book describes methods to prevent avoidable errors and to
correct unavoidable ones within the behavioral sciences. A
distinguishing feature of this work is that it is accessible to
students and researchers of substantive fields of the behavioral
sciences and related fields (e.g., health sciences and social
sciences). Discussed are methods for errors that come from human
and other factors, and methods for errors within each of the
aspects of empirical studies. This book focuses on how empirical
research is threatened by different types of error, and how the
behavioral sciences in particular are vulnerable due to the study
of human behavior and human participation in studies. Methods to
counteract errors are discussed in depth including how they can be
applied in all aspects of empirical studies: sampling of
participants, design and implementation of the study,
instrumentation and operationalization of theoretical variables,
analysis of the data, and reporting of the study results. Students
and researchers of methodology, psychology, education, and
statistics will find this book to be particularly valuable.
Methodologists can use the book to advice clients on methodological
issues of substantive research.
