The Allocasuarina robusta pilot study investigated the process involved to facilitate seed recruitment as part of a threatened species project. Several experiments occurred, each examining a specific attribute in the seed recruitment process. A. robusta is a threatened species of national and local significance. The research design would help land managers and communities to conserve A. robusta. The investigation aimed to improve seed recruitment in A. robusta occurring under natural conditions. The experiment results highlighted several experimental design flaws and identified opportunities to increase community participation as part of the recovery program.

Manifest Anxiety

The physiological subscale of the Revised Children's Manifest Anxiety Scale was examined using a matched single-subject research design. As predicted, a high scorer on the physiological subscale had a significantly higher resting EMG and did not significantly recover as did the low scorer on the physiological subscale on EMG. Contradictory findings were observed on skin temperature measures. Findings are discussed relative to the scope and shortcomings of the investigation, and directions for research are suggested.

Experimental Gerontology

This paper presents a brief overview of some of the major issues associated with research design in experimental gerontology. The intention is not to provide a comprehensive and detailed guide to experimental design and research methods. Rather, the paper focuses on a more general discussion of several issues associated with the design, implementation, and interpretation of research in an attempt to illustrate why a rudimentary knowledge of these topics is essential for all researchers and practitioners involved in the study of the aging process. Wherever possible, specific examples from the exercise science and applied health literature are selected in order to illustrate the significance of these factors for our field of expertise.

Hiv Aids

This paper provides a speculative discussion on what quasi-experimental designs might be useful in various aspects of HIV/AIDS research. The first author’s expertise is in research design, not HIV, while the second author has been active in HIV prevention research. It is hoped that it may help the HIV/AIDS research community in discovering and inventing an expanded range of possibilities for valid causal inference. DOI:10.2458/azu_jmmss_v3i1_campbell

Critical Diversity

The chapter begins with an overview of the current momentum toward interprofessional education and practice, citing specific trends in Canada as reflections of a global emerging consciousness. Initiatives undertaken at Dalhousie University are discussed in setting the context for this pilot study. Next, the pedagogy of critical diversity education is introduced and explained, with particular relevance for interprofessional education and practice. Comparison of face-to-face and online delivery of an interprofessional module based upon critical diversity education principles is then detailed, including research design and findings. The chapter concludes with a discussion of implications from this study.

Training And Research

After a heyday in the 1970s and 1980s, probability sampling became much less visible in archaeological literature as it came under assault from the post-processual critique and the widespread adoption of “full-coverage survey.” After 1990, published discussion of probability sampling rarely strayed from sample-size issues in analyses of artifacts along with plant and animal remains, and most textbooks and archaeological training limited sampling to regional survey and did little to equip new generations of archaeologists with this critical aspect of research design. A review of the last 20 years of archaeological literature indicates a need for deeper and broader archaeological training in sampling; more precise usage of terms such as “sample”; use of randomization as a control in experimental design; and more attention to cluster sampling, stratified sampling, and nonspatial sampling in both training and research.

Comparative Effects of Three Hand Splints on Bilateral Hand Use, Grasp, and Arm-Hand Posture in Hemiplegic Children: A Pilot Study

Enhancement of hand function in cerebral palsied children is a priority of occupational therapists working with this population. While splinting is used as an adjunct to active treatment with many other patient groups, it is not as consistently used with these children. This pilot study was designed to investigate the effects of hand splinting on bilateral hand use, grasp skill, and arm-hand posture in hemiplegic cerebral palsied children, using three different splints: the orthokinetic cuff, the short opponens thumb splint, and the MacKinnon splint. Each was selected based on its reported utility in reducing spasticity and thereby enhancing function. A counterbalanced experimental design was used with the 12 subjects wearing all three splints in a randomly assigned order. Splints were worn 8 hours per day for 6 weeks, with a 2-week interval between splints. Measures were developed for documentation of the three dependent variables. Analysis of the data revealed no significant relationship between splint type and change in the dependent variables. However, when scores for clusters of subjects were analyzed significant differences in response to the splints were identified Improvement in bilateral hand use was associated with the orthokinetic cuff and the MacKinnon splint; grasp skill improved most significantly with the MacKinnon splint. Arm-hand posture did not seem to be affected by splint wear. The study was limited by a lack of standardized measures of bilateral hand use and grasp skill for children, suggesting a need for development of such measures In addition, further investigation of the effectiveness of the MacKinnon splint on improving functional skills with cerebral palsied children is indicated.

This chapter explores the principles of experimental research design as well as the issues and problems associated with different aspects of the approach. In particular, it considers the issue of internal and external validity, the common obstacles associated with experimental research, and what can be done to try and avoid or minimize them. The chapter first describes the five steps involved in the classic version of the experimental design before discussing three types of experimental design: laboratory experiments, field experiments, and natural experiments. It also examines the ethical issues that arise from experimental research and concludes by highlighting some of the advantages of experimental research.
