Experimental Design
Sir Ronald A. Fisher, the father of modern experimental design, observed that experiments are “only experience carefully planned in advance, and designed to form a secure basis of new knowledge” (1935: 8). Experiments involve the manipulation of one or more independent variables followed by the systematic observation of the effects of the manipulation on one or more dependent variables. The emphasis on experimentation in the sixteenth and sevente…
Random Sample
A census, which is a survey of every unit in a population, is rarely used to gather information in the social sciences because it is often costly, time consuming, or impracticable. Instead, researchers gather the information from a sample that is assumed to be representative of the population. Such a sample can be obtained by using a simple random sampling procedure . The resulting sample is called a simple random sample . The procedure selects a…
Outliers
An outlier is an observation that appears to deviate markedly from other observations in a sample. Outliers occur for a variety of reasons. They can represent, for example, measurement errors, data recording errors, or data entry errors, or a correct value that just happens to be extreme. Outliers can seriously affect the integrity of data and result in biased or distorted sample statistics, inflated sums of squares, distorted p values and effect…

Experimental Design
The chapter discusses the three principles of good experimental design-random assignment, replication, and local control-that were championed by Ronald A. Fisher. The chapter also shows how complex experimental designs are constructed from and understood in terms of three simple building block designs: the completely randomized design, randomized block design, and Latin square design. Missing observations and missing cells are common in the behav…

Instead, researchers gather the information from a sample that is assumed to be representative of the population. Such a sample can be obtained by using a simple random sampling procedure .

Outliers
An outlier is an observation or measurement that is unusually large or small relative to the other values in a data set. Outliers occur for a variety of reasons. They can represent, for example, an error in measurement, data recording, or data entry, or a correct value that just happens to be extreme. Outliers can seriously affect the integrity of data and result in biased or distorted sample statistics, inflated sums of squares, distorted p valu…
Experimental Design
Experimentation involves the deliberate manipulation of one or more independent variables followed by the systematic observation of the effects of the manipulation on one or more dependent variables. The emphasis on experimentation in the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries as a way of establishing causal relationships marked the emergence of modern science from its roots in natural philosophy (Hacking 1983). According to the nineteenth‐century p…

Three Programs for Computing Dunn-Sidák Critical Values
The Dunn-Sidák multiple comparison procedure is used to test hypotheses and construct confidence intervals for two or more a priori nonorthogonal contrasts for population means. The procedure uses a levels that are not available in conventional t tables. In 1977 Games prepared a table of two tailed critical values that simplifies using the procedure. Researchers are accustomed to doubling alpha in a two-tailed t table to obtain the critical value…

Practical Significance
Statistical significance is concerned with whether a research result is due to chance or sampling variability; practical significance is concerned with whether the result is useful in the real world. A growing awareness of the limitations of null hypothesis significance tests has led to a search for ways to supplement these procedures. A variety of supplementary measures of effect magnitude have been proposed. The use of these procedures in four …
A User-Friendly Statistical Package for Microcomputers
A package of user-friendly data-analysis and tutorial routines was developed for the Apple II microcomputer. The programs are concerned with common topics found in introductory statistics texts. Formal evaluations were obtained from Baylor University psychology students and statistics faculty
A General Method for Partitioning Sums of Squares of Treatments and Interactions in the Analysis of Variance
A method is presented for partitioning the sums of squares of treatments and interactions to reflect specific treatment and interaction contrasts. The method is illustrated by partitioning the sums of squares in a split-plot factorial analysis of variance design
Effects of Ionized Air on Early Acquisition of Sidman Avoidance Behavior by Rats
This research investigated the effects of positive and negative air ionization on the early acquisition of a Sidman (1953) avoidance response. The subjects were 20 male albino rats of the Sprague-Dawley strain. They were randomly assigned to ionization conditions and given 4 2-hr. acquisition sessions. The temporal parameters of the task were a response-shock interval of 20 sec. and a shock-shock interval of 5 sec. Shocks were delivered as 1-ma. …

Drawing Random Samples in Cross'Cultural Studies
A simple method for drawing a random sample, which must be used to meet the assumptions of inferential statistical tests utilized in cross-cultural studies, is to take a list of the cultural universe and select the sample from it by some random procedure. A problem inherent in this method is that no one has defined the unit, culture, in such a way as to make this practicable. A grid method for drawing random samples is suggested as an alternative…
