Introduction and overview -- Logical steps of conducting quantitative research, hypothesis-testing process -- Maximizing hypothesis decisions using power analysis -- Research and statistical designs -- Introduction to IBM SPSS 20 -- Diagnosing study data for inaccuracies and assumptions -- Randomized design comparing two treatments and a control using a one-way analysis of variance -- Repeated-treatment design using a repeated-measures analysis of variance -- Randomized factorial experimental design using a factorial ANOVA -- Analysis of covariance -- Randomized control group and repeated-treatment designs and nonparametics -- Bivariate and multivariate correlation methods using multiple regression analysis -- Understanding quantitative literature and research. Chapter 1. Chapter 2. Chapter 3. Chapter 4. Chapter 5. Chapter 6. Chapter 7. Chapter 8. Chapter 9. Chapter 10. Chapter 11. Chapter 12. Chapter 13.
"Quantitative and Statistical Research Methods offers a guide for psychology, counseling, and education students in the use of statistics and research designs, combined with guidance on using SPSS in the course of their research. Each chapter covers a research problem, taking the student through identifying research questions and hypotheses; identifying, classifying, and operationally defining the study variables; choosing appropriate research designs; conducting power analysis; choosing an appropriate statistic for the problem; using a data set; conducting data screening and analyses (SPSS); interpreting the statistics; and writing the results related to the problem. Designed so students will know how to plan research and conduct statistical analyses using several different procedures"--
