For courses in Clinical Psychology
A practical and theoretically rich guide to conducting psychological research
Research Design in Clinical Psychology helps students achieve a thorough understanding of the entire research process — developing the idea, selecting methods, analyzing the results, and preparing the written scientific report. Drawing examples from clinical research, health, and medicine, author Alan Kazdin offers detailed coverage of experimental design, assessment, data evaluation and interpretation, case-control and cohort designs, and qualitative research methods. In addition to new pedagogical tools that guide students through the text, the Fifth Edition offers expanded coverage of key topic areas, such as cultural issues, scientific integrity, and recent changes in the publication and communication of research.
NOTE: This ISBN is for a Pearson Books a la Carte edition: a convenient, three-hole-punched, loose-leaf text. In addition to the flexibility offered by this format, Books a la Carte editions offer students great value, as they cost significantly less than a bound textbook.
Research Design in Clinical Psychology, Fifth Edition is also available via REVEL™, an interactive learning environment that enables students to read, practice, and study in one continuous experience.
چکیده فارسی
برای دوره های روانشناسی بالینی
راهنمای عملی و نظری غنی برای انجام تحقیقات روانشناسی
طراحی تحقیق در روانشناسی بالینی به دانشجویان کمک می کند تا به درک کاملی از کل فرآیند تحقیق دست یابند - توسعه ایده، انتخاب روش ها، تجزیه و تحلیل نتایج و تهیه گزارش علمی مکتوب. نویسنده آلن کازدین با ترسیم نمونههایی از تحقیقات بالینی، بهداشت و پزشکی، پوشش مفصلی از طراحی تجربی، ارزیابی، ارزیابی و تفسیر دادهها، طرحهای مورد شاهدی و کوهورت، و روشهای تحقیق کیفی ارائه میدهد. علاوه بر ابزارهای آموزشی جدید که دانش آموزان را از طریق متن راهنمایی می کند، نسخه پنجم پوشش گسترده ای از حوزه های موضوعی کلیدی، مانند مسائل فرهنگی، یکپارچگی علمی، و تغییرات اخیر در انتشار و ارتباطات تحقیق ارائه می دهد.
توجه: این ISBN برای نسخه a la Carte Books Pearson است: متنی راحت، دارای سه سوراخ و با برگ. علاوه بر انعطافپذیری ارائهشده توسط این قالب، نسخههای Books a la Carte ارزش زیادی به دانشآموزان ارائه میدهد، زیرا هزینه آنها بسیار کمتر از یک کتاب درسی صحافیشده است.
