Now in its fourth edition, Behavioral Research and Analysis: An
Introduction to Statistics within the Context of Experimental
Design presents an overview of statistical methods within the
context of experimental design. It covers fundamental topics such
as data collection, data analysis, interpretation of results, and
communication of findings. New in the Fourth Edition: Extensive
improvements based on suggestions from those using this book in the
classroom Statistical procedures that have been developed and
validated since the previous edition Each chapter in the body now
contains relevant key words, chapter summaries, key word
definitions, and end of chapter exercises (with answers) Revisions
to include recent changes in the APA Style Manual When looking for
a book for their own use, the authors found none that were totally
suitable. They found books that either reviewed the basics of
behavioral research and experimental design but provided only
cursory coverage of statistical methods or they provided coverage
of statistical methods with very little coverage of the research
context within which these methods are used. No single resource
provided coverage of methodology, statistics, and communication
skills. In a classic example of necessity being the mother of
invention, the authors created their own. This text is ideal for a
single course that reviews research methods, essential statistics
through multi-factor analysis of variance, and thesis (or major
project) preparation without discussion of derivation of equations,
probability theory, or mathematic proofs. It focuses on essential
information for getting a research project completed without
prerequisite math or statistics training. It has been revised many
times to help students at a variety of academic levels (exceptional
high school students, undergraduate honors students, masters
students, doctoral students, and post-doctoral fellows) across
varied academic disciplines (e.g., human factors and ergonomics,
behavioral and social sciences, natural sciences, engineering,
exercise and sport sciences, business and management, industrial
hygiene and safety science, health and medical sciences, and more).
Illustrating how to plan, prepare, conduct, and analyze an
experimental or research report, the book emphasizes explaining
statistical procedures and interpreting obtained results without
discussing the derivation of equations or history of the method.
Destined to spend more time on your desk than on the shelf, the
book will become the single resource you reach for again and again
when conducting scientific research and reporting it to the
scientific community. Illustrates how to plan, conduct, analyze,
and prepare an experimental or research report Includes new
statistical procedures that have been developed and validated since
the previous edition Incorporates SAS in the exercises at the end
of each chapter Takes into account the changes in the APA guidebook
Provides new examples in exercise and sport science, public health,
gerontology, and biomedical areas Solutions manual available upon
qualifying course adoption
