Book Single Case Research Design and Analysis  Psychology Revivals

Download or read book Single Case Research Design and Analysis Psychology Revivals written by Thomas R. Kratochwill and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2015-04-10 with total page 235 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Originally published in 1992, the editors of this volume fulfill three main goals: to take stock of progress in the development of data-analysis procedures for single-subject research; to clearly explain errors of application and consider them within the context of new theoretical and empirical information of the time; and to closely examine new developments in the analysis of data from single-subject or small n experiments. To meet these goals, this book provides examples of applicable single-subject research data analysis. It presents a wide variety of topics and perspectives and hopes that readers will select the data-analysis strategies that best reflect their methodological approaches, statistical sophistication, and philosophical beliefs. These strategies include visual analysis, nonparametric tests, time-series experiments, applications of statistical procedures for multiple behaviors, applications of meta-analysis in single-subject research, and discussions of issues related to the application and misapplication of selected techniques.

Book Design and Analysis of Single Case Research

Download or read book Design and Analysis of Single Case Research written by Ronald D. Franklin and published by Psychology Press. This book was released on 2014-01-14 with total page 398 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book focuses on one important aspect of psychological research -- the intensive study of people measured one or more at a time. Some important historical material is detailed in several chapters making a strong connection to previous material in psychology. Several contributors present important details on classical and novel methods to study behavior over time, and they do so in the context of appropriate statistical methods. This appropriately reflects the growing interest in examining dynamic behaviors by objective measurement. Key experimental design principles are expertly stated, reflecting the growing interest in studying the individual course of development for invariants in behaviors, including some unusual constructs such as cycles and punctuated equilibria. This book also deals with practical contemporary problems in psychology and documents the increased possibility of using clinical research tools. Taken as a whole, this volume is filled with interesting historical points, informative mathematical and statistical analyses, and practical methods. It is the only book addressing the issues of meta-analysis, cyclicity, and confounds to visual inspection of single subject data that considers ways in which statistical software can aid in overcoming these constraints.

Book Single case Research Designs

Download or read book Single case Research Designs written by Alan E. Kazdin and published by Oxford University Press, USA. This book was released on 2011 with total page 452 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Kazdin's text is a notable contrast to the quantitative methodology approach that pervades the biological and social sciences. The methodology in Single-Case Reasearch Designs focuses on a widely applicable methodology for evaluating interventions, such as treatment, or psychotherapy, using applied behavior anlaysis. However, this revision aims to encompass a broader range of research areas that utilize single-case designs. The text will convey the pertinence of this research methodology to disciplines ranging from psychology and medicine to business and industry. The first edition of this book, which was published in 1982, still sells a steady amount of copies today. The fact that professors continue to use the first edition of this book more than twenty years after it was published is a testament to the quality of information, organization, and narrative throughout the text. The possibility of a revision has professors excited that they can expose their students toa well-written, clear, and updated text that will reflect the current status of single-case research.

Book Single Subject Research

Download or read book Single Subject Research written by Thomas R Kratochwill and published by Academic Press. This book was released on 2013-10-22 with total page 337 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Single Subject Research: Strategies for Evaluating Change presents an overview of strategies used to evaluate change in single subject research, a particular approach referring to time-series paradigms in which each subject is used repeatedly. These strategies include research design, graphical analysis, and statistical tests, and it will be apparent that such designs extend beyond those commonly employed in applied behavioral research. The book opens with a brief historical perspective of time-series and other small group research. Separate chapters follow covering the analysis of graphic data as being of singular importance in single subject research; the units-of-analysis issue and a nonparametric randomization approach to data analysis; and the growing awareness among researchers that understanding the individual characteristics of interacting subjects may be inadequate for understanding the process that has taken place between them. The final chapter reviews the advantages and disadvantages of the analytic methods presented in the previous chapters. This volume will be of interest to those individuals actively engaged in educational and psychological experimentation for which single subject research strategies are or may prove to be valuable. Students desiring to supplement their knowledge of a unique and rapidly emerging area of statistical analysis as applied to single subject research designs will also find this volume of importance.

Book excerpt: Written for advanced undergraduate- and graduate-level courses in Single Case or Single Subject Research Designs, and Research Methods in Educational and Community Settings. A practical nuts-and-bolts how-to guide to carrying out single case research designs, this new textbook is focused squarely on single case research in educational and community settings, emphasizing practice versus theory. The authors have put together a unique guidebook for courses in single case and single subject research for educational and community settings, and conceptualizes the background underlying this research approach, walking readers through a step-by-step approach to the components involved in doing such research. The text covers single case designs with a brief historical background on the development of these design approaches; some of the basic logistical barriers to and solutions for carrying out research in applied settings; and nuts-and-bolts procedures of carrying out such research with regard to designing and implementing measurements systems, choosing appropriate designs, and graphing and analyzing data. In addition, the text covers the basics of disseminating research via various professional outlets such as conference presentations and journals for researchers and practitioners. The tables and graphics included list step-by-step procedures for carrying out various data collection and research design strategies, offering concise summaries of some key features of the main procedural elements of single case research, and a guideline to crucial features and concepts. Written for a broad range of educational and other human services professionals, including teachers (general and special education), school psychologists and counselors, social workers, communication disorders specialists, and recreation, occupational, and physical therapists, this new "how-to" textbook fills a gap in the market for a single case, single subject research design guide focused on research in educational and community settings, with a strong emphasis on practice versus theory. Frequent, significant use of tables and other graphics gives concise illustrations and summaries of the critical features under discussion. Featured throughout every chapter. Tables with step-by-step descriptions of how to implement the various stages and procedures of the design(s) are featured in chapters on specific designs (e.g., withdrawal/reversal designs, multiple baseline/multiple probes designs). These tables help to further illustrate and summarize the key steps in design implementation. Many examples of graphed data from published studies are incorporated throughout most of the chapters, providing an array of examples of how to graph data, how to analyze data, the different types of experimental single case designs, and more.

Book Single Case Methods in Clinical Psychology

Download or read book Single Case Methods in Clinical Psychology written by Stephen Morley and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2017-12-22 with total page 286 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Single-Case Methods in Clinical Psychology: A Practical Guide provides a concise and easily-accessible introduction to single-case research. This is a timely response to the increasing awareness of the need to look beyond randomised controlled trials for evidence to support best practice in applied psychology. The book covers the issues of design, the reliability and validity of measurement, and provides guidance on how to analyse single-case data using both visual and statistical methods. Single-case designs can be used to investigate an individual’s response to psychological intervention, as well as to contribute to larger scale research projects. This book illuminates the common principles behind these uses. It describes how standardised measures can be used to evaluate change in an individual and how to develop idiographic measures that are tailored to the needs of an individual. The issue of replication and generalising beyond an individual are examined, and the book also includes a section on the meta-analysis of single-case data. The critical evaluation of single-case research is examined, from both the perspective of developing quality standards to evaluate research and maintaining a critical distance in reviewing one’s own work. Single Case Methods in Clinical Psychology will provide invaluable guidance to postgraduate psychologists training to enter the professions of clinical, health and counselling psychology and is likely to become a core text on many courses. It will also appeal to clinicians seeking to answer questions about the effectiveness of therapy in individual cases and who wish to use the method to further the evidence-base for specific psychological interventions.
