Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Experiments are a central methodology in the social sciences. Scholars from every discipline regularly turn to experiments. Practitioners rely on experimental evidence in evaluating social programs, policies, and institutions. This book is about how to “think” about experiments. It argues that designing a good experiment is a slow moving process (given the host of considerations) which is counter to the current fast moving temptations available in the social sciences. The book includes discussion of the place of experiments in the social science process, the assumptions underlying different types of experiments, the validity of experiments, the application of different designs, how to arrive at experimental questions, the role of replications in experimental research, and the steps involved in designing and conducting “good” experiments. The goal is to ensure social science research remains driven by important substantive questions and fully exploits the potential of experiments in a thoughtful manner.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from An Experimental Study of Silent Thinking In order to understand thinking from a point of view other than logical, it is necessary that thought processes be submitted to experimentation and be carefully observed in respect to their inherent characteristics. The results described below have been based upon an experimental study of thinking in relation to its physiological and psychological aspects. Not only has thinking in this investigation been submitted to observation under controlled conditions, but objective measures have also been made of its various characteristics, so that as little dependence as possible has been placed upon the subjective estimates of those thought processes which were being studied. The term "silent thinking" has been used throughout this report to describe the processes carried on by the mind in its attempt to reach new conclusions, which are controlled in their development by the demands of a problematic situation. Subjects have been asked to solve problems without consciously making use of any explicit form of behavior. The value of the solution was not taken into account. Any solution offered by the subject, which to him was new, was accepted. It is such processes as these that have been submitted to experimentation in this investigation and that have been studied from the psychological and physiological view points. There have been few attempts to deliberately observe under controlled conditions the silent reaching of new conclusions. Ach, in his study of thought, was interested to discover whether extra-conscious determining tendencies, set up by a given task, could yield new products which would not be the result of reproduction.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Similar results were simultaneously obtained in this coun try from the experimental work carried on by Woodworth.1 His subjects were asked questions which were considered difficult enough to stimulate real thinking. Ordinarily the subjects were asked to give their retrospections at the com pletion of their solutions, but frequently the experimenter interrupted them before they had reached their conclusions, asking: Any visual pictures? Any words heard? Any feelings of bodily movement? From the study of these results and from his own introspections, Woodworth con cluded that thinking contains elements wholly irreducible to sensory terms. Frequently the content of thinking was merely a particular feeling of the thought in question, a state of mind apparently identical with Buhler's Gedanke. In describing one of his own thought processes, Woodworth was even able to add: When thought is really effective, when some new insight is gained, the words are absent, though they soon come tagging after.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Train of Thought: An Experimental Study of the Insane In observing and studying experimentally the patients at Friends' Asylum for the Insane, Frankford, one test has proved especially fruitful of results. The test is that used by Prof. Lightner Witmer for the study of association. The subject is required to write a list of words, one below the other, during a period of fifteen minutes. He is directed to write without pause or choice each word as it occurs to him. The experimenter records the number of words written during the first two minutes, and during the first, second and third periods of five minutes each. This fifteen minute test furnishes material for the study of (1) the forms of association, (2) the quality of the ideas expressed (perceptual or conceptual), (3) the thought content, (4) the rapidity of thought, (5) the effect of practice and fatigue, (6) the degree of concentration of thought, and (7) the degree of the power of application. The trend of thought is not controlled in any way by the experimenter, and the subject writing freely for a period of fifteen minutes, rarely fails to include many words indicative of his individual interests and pursuits. In an insane subject this tendency is of especial value as delusions are often expressed which would not be betrayed in conversation or in a shorter written test. From an examination of such a list, therefore, the investigator is usually able to determine the general trend of the writers thought, i.e. to determine whether he is literary or scientific in his tastes, or whether he is principally occupied with the daily routine of events either in the narrow field of personal experience, or in the larger sphere of the worlds activities.

Download or read book Experimental Design in Psychology written by M. Kimberly MacLin and published by Taylor & Francis. This book was released on 2023-12-22 with total page 543 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This text is about doing science and the active process of reading, learning, thinking, generating ideas, designing experiments, and the logistics surrounding each step of the research process. In easy-to-read, conversational language, Kim MacLin teaches students experimental design principles and techniques using a tutorial approach in which students read, critique, and analyze over 75 actual experiments from every major area of psychology. She provides them with real-world information about how science in psychology is conducted and how they can participate. Recognizing that students come to an experimental design course with their own interests and perspectives, MacLin covers many subdisciplines of psychology throughout the text, including IO psychology, child psychology, social psychology, behavioral psychology, cognitive psychology, clinical psychology, health psychology, educational/school psychology, legal psychology, and personality psychology, among others. Part I of the text is content oriented and provides an overview of the principles of experimental design. Part II contains annotated research articles for students to read and analyze. New sections on how to critically evaluate media reports of scientific findings (in other words, how to identify ‘fake news’), authorship guidelines and decisions, survey research methods and AI tools have been included. Further, expanded information on the Open Science movement, and on ethics in research, and methods to achieve clarity and precision in thinking and writing are included. This edition is up to date with the latest APA Publication Manual (7th edition) and includes an overview of the bias-free language guidelines, the use of singular "they," and an ethical compliance checklist.. This text is essential reading for students and researchers interested in and studying experimental design in psychology.
