Recenzii

“This text is intellectually stimulating and challenges students to take a comprehensive approach to their understanding of research designs and concepts. I appreciate the high expectations that the authors have for their readers to fully understand the nature and depth of the research process.”
“I find this text to be especially clear in its approach, while the use of examples and sample exercises would be highly effective for practical, in-class learning. Additionally, the text would be an excellent resource as students put together their research designs, and it would likely work well alongside a more theoretical companion text.”
“The research study examples provided in connection to each research design reflect an additional strength to this text. What I like about this text is that it contains a comprehensive view of designs, without bias regarding one paradigm being better than the other.”
“This is a very useful, practical, and well-devised textbook.”

Notă biografică

W. Alex Edmonds, PhD, BCB, is currently an associate professor of research at Nova Southeastern University in Davie, Florida. He graduated from Florida State University and received his doctoral degree in Educational Psychology with a minor in Statistics and Measurement. Over the years, Dr. Edmonds has applied his knowledge of research design, measurement, and assessment in both field and laboratory examinations. He has published extensively in a variety of areas such as psychophysiology and educational psychology. His primary interest revolves around applying unique methodological and statistical techniques as a means to exploring the relationship between emotions, physiology and performance in a variety of domains. He also has over 10 years of experience in applying biofeedback in field and research applications. While in graduate school, he conducted his field work with the track and field team at Florida State and started using biofeedback for research and practice during this time. He has utilized biofeedback extensively with various types of athletes for performance enhancement, as well as stress-regulation techniques for individuals with type 2 diabetes and pain management for patients suffering from chronic pain. Dr. Edmonds is certified through the Biofeedback Certification International Alliance in general biofeedback.
