Acclaimed for helping novice behavioral scientists hit the ground running as producers of meaningful research, this text now has been extensively revised with more than 50% new material, including current guidance on open science; transparency; replication; and quantitative, qualitative, and mixed methods reporting standards. The book provides the conceptual knowledge and practical skills needed to bridge the gap between introductory research design and analysis courses and execution of an independent study. In a candid, conversational style, Rex B. Kline guides the reader to choose appropriate research designs and analysis options; avoid common fallacies in interpreting the outcomes of statistical tests; make informed measurement choices; screen data for problems that could yield inaccurate results; and craft effective theses, journal articles, and presentations. Revised pedagogical features include engaging examples from published studies and student theses, as well as end-of-chapter exercises with answers.New to This Edition*Addresses critical "research crises" that have come to the fore in the last decade--and ways to remedy them.*New chapters on the replication crisis, reporting standards, the open-science movement, and statistics reform.*Extensively revised chapters on effect size estimation and psychometrics.*Updated discussions of how to write publishable journal articles and create effective presentations.
"An impressive, comprehensive resource on autism during infancy and toddlerhood. The contributors provide an up-to-date overview of research on screening, symptoms, and treatment. This book will be valuable to both clinicians and researchers interested in the earliest manifestations of ASD and how to improve children's outcomes."--Geraldine Dawson, PhD, William Cleland Distinguished Professor of Psychiatry and Behavioral Sciences; Director, Duke Institute for Brain Sciences; and Director, Duke Center for Autism and Brain Development, Duke University School of Medicine"Edited by two of the field's most renowned researchers, this book contains a wealth of wisdom for trainees, researchers, and practitioners in psychology, pediatrics, psychiatry, and early education. The volume brings together many different perspectives from baby siblings research, along with other approaches to studying infants and toddlers with autism, to offer novel insights into how autism emerges. It not only provides an excellent history of early and recent research on very young children with ASD, but also looks ahead to the future."--Catherine Lord, PhD, George Tarjan Distinguished Professor of Psychiatry and Education, Semel Institute of Neuroscience and Human Behavior, University of California, Los Angeles"Finally, everything you need in one place! This is a scientifically rigorous yet remarkably accessible analysis of what we have learned and what we still need to understand about autism screening, diagnosis, and treatment in infants and young children. Clinicians who are eager to translate research into high-quality care for children with ASD--and the children and families they serve--will benefit from this important work."--Alison Singer, President, Autism Science Foundation"This outstanding work has particularly strong chapters relating to screening and diagnosis. The book thoughtfully describes current practices, barriers, controversies, and guidelines for accurate and early identification of ASD. This is a great book for students who will be screening or diagnosing children with ASD and for professionals who wish to stay abreast of current issues in the field."--Lynn Kern Koegel, PhD, CCC-SLP, Clinical Professor, Stanford University School of Medicine; codeveloper, pivotal response treatment
