Experimental Design
Procedures for the Behavioral Sciences
- Roger E. Kirk - Baylor University, USA
Packed full of examples from student projects to help you to put theory into practice, the book guides you through:
• designing your research
• ethical considerations
• collecting your data
• analysing your data
• writing your report or dissertation.
In addition, the book will help you with time management and working with your supervisor, as well as providing guidance on how you can use your project as the basis for publication or further study.
This classic book now improved is essential for a doctorate or master student who wants to carry out thorough investigations.
Excellent! The bible of experimental research.
The book is very well written and very useful for practical applications. It is the only book I know of (and I have seen quite a few) that provides such a well-structured description of various experimental designs, and especially of the relations and similarities between them.
My only remark is that, personally, I would have liked to see a more explicit discussion of how to deal with repeated measures.
The review exercises and summaries at the end of each chapter is very helpful. The book is, however, too advanced for the purposes of the course.
Excellent book presenting fundamental statistical principals profoundly and in great detail.
Helps stundents to understand background and application of basic and advanced statistical methods.
Tends to be a bit lengthy sometimes - on the other hand this makes it easier to follow.
This course is for students in a PsyD program. I think is more appropiate for students in a PhD program. But I will probably use some chapters to complement the course.
This is the essential reading for all who deal with experimental designs. It is also helpful in statistical consulting.
This book has relevant information for some of the students of my course.
But the content is too difficult for most of the students
I have used this book as a graduate student doing experimental research. Now I am a Ph.D. student and I still recommend this book. It is a great resource. But I have to mention that the initial access to this book is quite hard, therefore I would not recommend it for undergraduate students; even graduate students might find it hard to read.
The focus and the example of the book does not seem to fully address the existing topics of political science.
