内容简介
许多心理学课程都要求学生们设计实验、撰写实验报告或研究报告。本书旨在为撰写实验报告和设计实验提供具体的指导。
《心理学实验的设计与报告（第3版，英文版）》共分两编，编围绕如何撰写实验报告而展开，详略得当地介绍了报告的每个主要组成部分，指出了各部分在撰写中应该注意的问题，并根据*版的《APA论文写作与发表规范》，提供了相应的实验示例。第二编是关于实验设计与统计方法的内容。就心理学研究中经常采用的几种实验设计方法以及相关的统计方法做出了概要的介绍和评价，介绍了学生在日常学习中容易忽视，但却非常重要的两个概念：效力和效应大小；同时对报告中如何呈现图、表的问题进行了具体说明。
《心理学实验的设计与报告》（第3版）与前两版相比，在每一章都增加了新的小节，补充了新的内容，使内容更加丰富详实，更具操作性和指导性。
本书既可作为心理学、教育学等社会科学研究专业的学生的教科书，也可作为研究人员在设计实验和撰写研究报告时的参考书。

前 言
This is a book about how to write undergraduate practical reports. It is designed to help students with every stage of the report writing process by giving them clear and detailed advice about what to put in each section of the report and describing broader issues of format, style and other issues involved in producing good reports of their practical work. As this book is ?rst and foremost about how to write reports, this material forms the focus of the main body of the book, Part 1. Part 2 of this book contains material on design and stat- istics. It is designed to give students the background they need in key aspects of design and statistics to help them better understand what is required of them in report writing. Material in both parts is supplemented by a Web site that contains additional material on report writing and design. The Web site can be found at openup/harris/ First published in 1986, this book has been reprinted many times and is now in its third edition, so several generations of undergraduate students have bene?ted from using it in their studies. I hope that this edition continues to prove a boon to students and look forward to receiving their emails about it. There are several changes and updates in this new edition. The most obvious is that, for the ?rst time, it has been paired with two statistics textbooks from the same publisher, both of which have been selected because they are comparatively easy to use and have the appropriate breadth of coverage. Both of these are best sellers in their own right. J. Greene and M. D’Oliveira’s (2006) Learning to use statistical tests in psychology is the more basic and introductory and is suitable for students at the beginning of their careers as undergraduate psychologists. J. Pallant’s SPSS survival manual (2007) is somewhat more advanced and appropriate for more experienced undergraduate students. You will ?nd references at the end of Chapter 4 and the chapters in Part 2 to further relevant coverage in both statistics textbooks and on this book’s Web site. Nevertheless, this book is designed for use alongside any relevant textbook of statistics as well as with either of the above books. Although the primary emphasis on experimental work is retained in this edition, I also discuss how to write up other forms of quantitative study. So, this book and its Web site should be useful to students writing up any quantitative study, not just experiments.
This edition contains material at the end of each chapter in Part 2 to help students check their understanding and consolidate their learning. For the ?rst time, answers are provided to the diagnostic questions and there are now 50 self-assessment questions. This edition also contains a completely revised section on how to ?nd references, given that so much material is now accessed electronically (Chapter 1), and a greatly expanded section on how to cite electronic references in the references section (Chapter 7) that incorporates new guidelines from the American Psychological Association (APA). It also incorporates recent advice from the British Psychological Society about the ethics of conducting studies on the Internet (Chapter 10). I have also compiled a list of things that students continue to do in their reports, despite my advice, and there are now icons in the margin to indicate where the advice designed to help them avoid these mistakes lies. For the ?rst time, a list of the contents of the Web site is printed in the book and icons are also used to denote where references to further coverage of issues in text occurs on the Web site. The commentary on issues raised in each chapter has also been expanded. This can be found at the rear of the book.
These are the principal changes, but there are many others throughout the text. Nevertheless, retained I hope are the things that both tutors and students liked so much about the previous editions

When you ?rst signed up for a psychology course, the chances arethat you did not really expect what was coming, particularly the emphasis on methodology and statistics. For some of you this may have been a pleasant surprise. For most, however, it will undoubtedly have been a shock to the system. No doubt in other parts of your course you will examine critically academic psychology’s scienti?c aspirations. My task in this book is to help you as best I can to face up to one of its major consequences for you. This is the prominence given in many psychology courses to doing practical work (especially experimenting) and the requirement in most instances to write up at least some of this work in the form of a highly structured and disciplined practical report.
All a report is (really) is the place in which you tell the story of your study; what you did, why you did it, what you found out in the process, and so on. In doing this you are more like an ancient storyteller, whose stories were structured by widely recognized and long-established conventions, than a modern novelist who is free to dictate form as well as content. Moreover, like the storytellers of old, although our will invariably be telling your story to someone who knows quite a bit about it already, you are expected to present it as if it had never been heard before. This means that you will need to spell out the details and assume little knowledge of the area on the part of your audience. The nature of your story – the things that you have to talk about is revealed in Box 1.1.
1 What you did
2 Why you did it
3 How you did it
4 What you found (including details of how you analysed the data)
5 What you think it shows
Box 1.1 The information you should provide in your practical report.

Box 1.2 The sections of the practical report.
Our ?rst clue as to the nature of the conventions governing the report comes with a glance at its basic structure. The report is in sections, and these sections (by and large) follow an established sequence. What this means is that, in the telling, your story needs to be cut up into chunks: different parts of the story should appear in different places in the report. The typical sequence of the sections appears in Box 1.2.
