Discovering cause and effect -- Ethics and famous experiments in history -- Theory, literature, and hypotheses -- Types of experiments -- Internal and external validity -- Factorial designs -- Random assignment -- Sampling and effects sizes -- Stimuli and manipulation checks -- Instruments and measurements -- The institutional review board and conducting ethical experiments.
Summary: "Designing Experiments for the Social Sciences: How to Plan, Create, and Execute Research Using Experiments is a practical, applied text for courses in experimental design. The text assumes that students have just a basic knowledge of the scientific method, with no statistics background required. With its focus on how to effectively design experiments, rather than how to analyze them, the book concentrates on the stage where researchers are making decisions about procedural aspects of the experiment before interventions and treatments are given. The book is rich in examples beyond psychology, ranging from political science, advertising, business, economics, information sciences, social work, education, sociology, journalism, the health fields, and more."--Back cover
