有关行为研究方法学的六点思考

Six Issues in Methodology of Behavioral Research

本文提供作者的研究经验和反思,就行为研究方法学的多样性和互补性,统计方法与实验想法的权衡,信-效度的关系,被试与测试者期望效应对数据的污染,避免方法学和统计检验的规定成为束缚研究的新八股,以及理论与实证的互动进行了探讨。

The paper provides reflections on taxonomy of complementary research methods, tradeoffs between statistical methods and research ideas, the relationship between reliability and validity, data contamination by expectancy of the subjects or experimenters, the need for avoiding methodological and statistical rituals that may hamper research development, and the synergy of theory and data.
