Maggiori informazioni sul libro
This omnibus describes the fundamentals of statistics, research, and mental disorders plus basic requirements of the Americans with Disabilities Act. Measurement scales, distribution forms, central tendency, measures of variability, standard scores, simple linear and multiple correlation, hypotheses, standard errors, tests of significance, analysis of variance, multiple comparison, and chi square are discussed from a meaningful conceptual perspective without resorting to complicated formulae or derivations. Basic elements of research described begin with initial selection of a problem, review of the literature, measurements, sampling, hypotheses, types of research (descriptive, experimental, factorial, single subject, and historical), and report writing. Legal rights of the disabled in accordance with the Americans with Disabilities Act, definitions and classifications of mental disorders, defense mechanisms, diagnostic categories, and a "normal" stress scale are discussed in sufficient detail for use by students and workers in the mental health field. Many interesting, often humorous examples are depicted throughout to liven discussion of various topics and pique the reader's poetic interest.
