An EasyGuide to Research Design & SPSS de Beth M. Schwartz

An EasyGuide to Research Design & SPSS: EasyGuide Series

Autor Beth M. Schwartz, Dennis M. Goff, Janie H. Wilson
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 15 iun 2018

Notăm cu interes apariția ediției a doua a volumului An EasyGuide to Research Design & SPSS, o resursă esențială pentru studenții care navighează prin complexitatea proiectelor de cercetare în psihologie. Această versiune revizuită marchează un avans semnificativ față de ediția precedentă, oferind o organizare mai fluidă și introducând capitole și secțiuni noi, vitale pentru rigoarea academică actuală: designul factorial, calculul mărimii efectului și utilizarea software-ului G*Power pentru analiza puterii statistice. Subliniem modul în care autorii reușesc să demistifice „căsătoria” dintre statistică și metodologie, prezentând totul într-un stil conversațional care elimină barierele de limbaj tehnic arid. Structura cărții este concepută progresiv, începând cu fundamentul teoretic al tipurilor de date (nominale, ordinale, de interval sau raport) și formularea ipotezelor, pentru a trece apoi la utilizarea efectivă a SPSS®. Cititorii familiarizați cu IBM SPSS for Introductory Statistics de Karen C. Barrett vor aprecia în acest volum concentrarea specifică pe integrarea deciziilor de design cu execuția tehnică, An EasyGuide to Research Design & SPSS funcționând nu doar ca un manual de software, ci ca un ghid metodologic complet. De asemenea, spre deosebire de How to Use SPSS®, acest volum pune un accent sporit pe interpretarea rezultatelor și redactarea lor conform standardelor APA, oferind numeroase capturi de ecran care ghidează studentul prin interfața programului. Credem că această abordare aplicată, care include instrucțiuni pentru gestionarea coloanelor și etichetelor în SPSS, transformă procesul de cercetare dintr-o sarcină intimidantă într-una gestionabilă și structurată.

Despre autor

Beth M. Schwartz este profesor de psihologie și Prorector pentru Afaceri Academice la Universitatea Heidelberg din Ohio. Cu o experiență de peste două decenii în mediul universitar, inclusiv la Randolph College, Schwartz deține un doctorat în psihologie cognitivă obținut la State University of New York at Buffalo. Expertiza sa academică se concentrează pe dezvoltarea memoriei la copii, însă prin seria EasyGuide Series, ea și colegii săi, Dennis M. Goff și Janie H. Wilson, au devenit voci de referință în pedagogia metodologiei de cercetare, simplificând concepte statistice complexe pentru generații de studenți.

Descriere scurtă

An EasyGuide to Research Design and SPSS® is an essential resource for students to successfully navigate and complete research projects.
