The material is presented in six broad sections, the first discussing fundamentals of design and analysis including the structure of the scientific method, ethical research, types of research designs, measurement of variables, and generalizing from samples to populations. Section II discusses analysis of simple frequencies in one or two categorical variables. Section III discusses research without grouping and how to use statistical tools such as correlation coefficients and regressions to identify relationships, developing reliable and valid measures, and moving from correlation to prediction. Section IV moves onto analytic tools for grouped designs with one variable and two or more independent samples. Section V addresses grouped designs with related samples and how to partial out systematic relatedness of data as well as account for specific types of relatedness such as repeated measures on the same participants. Section VI covers the advanced topic of two variables with independent samples. A substantial set of appendices provide assistance with software usage, formatting, and answers to practice questions as well as a glossary. Annotation ©2016 Ringgold, Inc., Portland, OR ()
