How to summarise the methodology of a randomised controlled trial in one sentence......

Hi.....can someone please write me an example of how to summarise a randomised controlled trial basically in one sentence, incorporating four elements: sample size, method of data collection (cross-sectional or longitudinal), instruments utilised (interviews, surveys, psychometric measures, etc), and method of analysis/study design (quant/qual, correlational, experimental, etc).

For example if the research study was a randomised controlled trial (n=55), comparing simple relaxation (n=20) to acceptance and commitment therapy (n=35). The Center for Epidemiological Studies-Depression (CES-D)32 was administered pre- and post-intervention to measure changes in depressive symptoms.

In order to compare pre- and post-intervention scores within each group, paired t-test or Wilcoxon signed-rank test was conducted as appropriate Pre-intervention scores were obtained at the start of the program. Post-intervention scores for participants in ACT were measured after the 8 week program had ended, and 8 weeks after the 2-day program had ended for those in the relaxation program. A repeated measures analysis of variance (ANOVA) was also conducted in order to compare the effectiveness of the simple relaxation and ACT programs.

How could this study's methodology be summarised in one sentence?

I need some advice for creating experiments using MATLABQuestion
I need some advice for creating experience using MATLAB

So, I am still in my undergrad majoring in psychology but after being a part of multiple research projects offered by cognitive science professors in my university I've realised that I want to continue in this field and stay in academia...

I'm very new to lab work and I've observed that most of these psychophysics experiments are made on MATLAB. Are there any good videos or courses that I can use to get started with it? I have no knowledge of MATLAB but I do know some python enough to make experiments using PsychoPy.

I tried to look for courses online but I couldn't find any that were good for beginners and cognitive science. I've been recommended to read the book 'Matlab for psychologists" but idk if reading a book will actually help with practical application.

Any help would be great! Thanks!!

Edit: *EXPERIMENTS this damn autocorrect

[Question] I did (Aligned rank transform) Art-ANOVA but my summary results are 0

Hi all,
I am new to stats and R. For my 2x2 study behaviour study analysis where I asked participant to rate emotion on 1 to 7 scale, I did Aligned rank transform ANOVA from ARTool. My Structure is fine for the model but summary says 0. I am not sure how to interpret this. Is something wrong or this is completely ok?

Requesting Scientific Papers: Comparative Analysis of Singlehood Rates and Divorce Rates Across European Countries (Male Perspective)

Greetings, Redditors!

I'm currently engaged in a comparative analysis project examining singlehood rates among males and divorce rates in heterosexual couples across various European countries. My aim is to understand the disparities and similarities in these trends and to explore the underlying factors driving them.

Specifically, I'm interested in finding scientific papers or studies that offer insights into:

  1. The variation in singlehood rates among males across different European countries.
  2. Comparative studies on divorce rates in heterosexual couples, highlighting the countries with notably lower rates.

By examining these factors on a country-to-country basis, I hope to uncover valuable insights into the socio-cultural, economic, and demographic dynamics influencing relationship patterns in Europe.

If you're aware of any scientific literature or studies that address these topics and provide comparative analyses across European countries, I'd greatly appreciate your recommendations!

Thank you in advance for your contributions and insights!

What are some good online resources for studying psychology?Question

The title basically summarizes it. I'm looking for truthful online resources. I'm sorry if this is the wrong subreddit to ask this.

Is there a way to do statistical analysis, comparing two treatments without any replications?
Is there a way to do statistical analysis, comparing two treatments without any replications?

Is there a way to do statistical analysis, comparing two treatments without any replications? Due to some constraints we weren't able to have replicates for our 2 treatments. It's our first time doing experimental so we have no prior knowledge in this area.

Thank you...

Any research on dress code v violence/attitudes for public schools?

I’m not talking about uniforms. I am talking simple dress codes: like - no exposed under garments, no offensive, political, special interest, political nor religious logos/sayings on clothing, no hats indoors, including no hoods, etc. I am looking for any correlation between the way students dress and student violence, grades and attitudes. Are there any great research studies out there that is pro dress codes ?

Help needed locating study on male vs. female infant-directed attentionResearch

When speaking about nature vs nurture in a lecture a few years ago, Robert Sapolsky mentioned that studies found that male and female infants received different amounts and types of attention even in their first hours or day(s) of life.

I haven't been able to find this specific research, can anyone help me out?

Need advice for low response rateQuestion

Hello I really need some advice right now, for context, we employed a purposive sampling with a quite specific criteria.

  1. We are studying influencers and we have three variables. One dependent, one independent, and one moderating.
  2. Unfortunately, the response rate is really low, we have only gathered 100 respondents and we need to analyze the data asap.
  3. We will be using multiple linear regression

My questions are: a. Is the sample size too small for a regression analysis? b. Is purposive sampling ok to be used for quantitative research? Since from my recent searches, it was often used for qualitative.

I hope someone could offer any advice.

IPS Supported EmploymentDiscussion

Hello,

I am currently an employee at a non-profit who works with the IPS Supported Employment Program. I have recently been having arguments with my state trainer who thinks we should be spending more time in the community with our clients. I tried to argue with her that community time with clients is not neccessary to bring about client's success. She will constantly say stuff like (to paraphrase) "the research says that increased community time leads to better outcomes". I have tried to find research on IPS but all I can find are articles saying that the IPS program is most effective but it doesn't say WHY it is most effective. In other words, I cannot find anything that says community time SPECIFICALLY results in better outcomes for clients. I am convinced they are just running with a coorelation but I have no solid data to back this up because I can't find research that particularly focuses on community time. Please help me find data that support my point or hers. I don't care if she's correct, but I can't even find the data to support either of our positions.

My skills are software programming, electronics, and wood work. I can 3D Print, but it’s a bit of a challenge. I have about 6-7 months to work on this.

Does anyone have any suggestions? Any tools, physical or computer, you wish you had for your daily work?

Any way to score the MCCB without the MSCEIT program?

I recently got added to a research project at my work that’s been stalled for the past couple years. I’m scoring the Matrics Consensus Cognitive Battery (MCCB) as part of research on cognitive remediation. The interviews and testing has all been completed the only thing left is to crunch the numbers.

Unfortunately, whoever worked on this before me only installed the CPT-IP software and not the software to score the MSCEIT Branch 4.

The questions regarding the MSCEIT seem simple enough and I have the responses. Is there anyway I can score this by hand or do I have to try and get access to the software?
