Quantitative Research in Psychology

Five Volume Set
Edited by:


December 2014 | 1 912 pages | SAGE Publications Ltd

Quantitative psychology is a branch of psychology developed using certain methods and approaches which are designed to answer empirical questions, such as the development of measurement models and factor analysis. While quantitative psychology is often associated with the use of statistical models and psychological measurement research methods, this five volume set draws together the key conceptual and methodological techniques and addresses each research question at length. Each volume is accompanied by an introduction which contextualises the subject area, giving an understanding of established theories and how they are continuing to develop in one of the most fundamental and broadly researched psychological fields.

These volumes are an excellent resource for academics and scholars who will benefit from the framing provided by the editorial introduction and overview, and will also appeal to advanced students and professionals studying or using quantitative psychological methods in their research.

Volume One: Statistical hypothesis testing and power

Volume Two: Measurement

Volume Three: Research Design and sampling

Volume Four: Statistical Tests

Volume Five: Complex Models
