A distinguishing feature of this work is that it is accessible to students and researchers of substantive fields of the behavioral sciences and related fields (e.g., health sciences and social sciences). Discussed are methods for errors that come from human and other factors, and methods for errors within each of the aspects of empirical studies. This book focuses on how empirical research is threatened by different types of error, and how the behavioral sciences in particular are vulnerable due to the study of human behavior and human participation in studies. Methods to counteract errors are discussed in depth including how they can be applied in all aspects of empirical studies: sampling of participants, design and implementation of the study, instrumentation and operationalization of theoretical variables, analysis of the data, and reporting of the study results. Students and researchers of methodology, psychology, education, and statistics will find this book to be particularly valuable. Methodologists can use the book to advice clients on methodological issues of substantive research. 606 $aPsychology?Methodology 606 $aPsychometrics 606 $aEducation?Research 606 $aSociology?Research 606 $aPsychology, Industrial 606 $aPsychological Methods/Evaluation$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/Y20040 606 $aResearch Methods in Education$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/O54000 606 $aResearch Methodology$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/X22190 606 $aIndustrial and Organizational Psychology$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/Y20030 615 0$aPsychology?Methodology. 615 0$aPsychometrics. 615 0$aEducation?Research. 615 0$aSociology?Research. 615 0$aPsychology, Industrial. 615 14$aPsychological Methods/Evaluation. 615 24$aResearch Methods in Education. 615 24$aResearch Methodology. 615 24$aIndustrial and Organizational Psychology. 676 $a150.72 676 $a150.72 700 $aMellenbergh$b Gideon J$4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut$0613989 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910337959203321 996 $aCounteracting Methodological Errors in Behavioral Research$92481366 997 $aUNINA
