Experimental Design
How to Design and Report Experiments is the perfect textbook and guide to the often bewildering world of experimental design and statistics. It provides a complete map of the entire process beginning with how to get ideas about research, how to refine your research question and the actual design of the experiment, leading on to statistical procedure and assistance with writing up of results.
While many books look at the fundamentals of doing successful experiments and include good coverage of statistical techniques, this book very importantly considers the process in chronological order with specific attention given to effective design in the context of likely methods needed and expected results. Without full assessment of these aspects, the experience and results may not end up being as positive as one might have hoped. Ample coverage is then also provided of statistical data analysis, a hazardous journey in itself, and the reporting of findings, with numerous examples and helpful tips of common downfalls throughout.
Combining light humour, empathy with solid practical guidance to ensure a positive experience overall, Designing and Reporting Experiments will be essential reading for students in psychology and those in cognate disciplines with an experimental focus or content in research methods courses.
this is an excellent book which i will recommend for experimental design for my baking students
An excellent book that explains the subject area in simple terms using straight forward talk.
This is a great introductory book for early undergraduate level.
If you look for a book that explain how to describe the statistics part of a paper o how to interpret properly the statistics results ant to write immediately them in your writing paper, this is the book that you are looking for.
An essential tool to report the results of the experiments.
The book offers a great overview on all relevant aspects for conducting experimental research. As such, the book has been readily used by students in the empirical part of my organizational behavior course. I can highly recommend the book.
Another great book from Andy Field. This book is great for young researchers, particularly those who may be doing their dissertations. Excellent.
I love it!
primarily for students of psychology, well-written with illustrative examples
This is an excellent text, which will enthuse the reader from the outset as Andy Field continues in his humorous tone.
This text provides students with different experimental designs before looking at the statistical analysis involved with each.
This a great book for an introduction into experimental design!
