Quantitative and Statistical Research Methods

This user-friendly textbook teaches students to understand and
apply procedural steps in completing quantitative studies. It
explains statistics while progressing through the steps of the
hypothesis-testing process from hypothesis to results. The research
problems used in the book reflect statistical applications related
to interesting and important topics. In addition, the book provides
a Research Analysis and Interpretation Guide to help students
analyze research articles.

Designed as a hands-on resource, each chapter covers a single
research problem and offers directions for implementing the
research method from start to finish. Readers will learn how
to:

* Pinpoint research questions and hypotheses

* Identify, classify, and operationally define the study
variables

* Choose appropriate research designs

* Conduct power analysis

* Select an appropriate statistic for the problem

* Use a data set

* Conduct data screening and analyses using SPSS

* Interpret the statistics

* Write the results related to the problem

Quantitative and Statistical Research Methods allows students to
immediately, independently, and successfully apply quantitative
methods to their own research projects.
