Single-Case Designs for Applied Research
by Craig H. KennedySingle-Case Designs for Applied Research by Craig Kennedy helps readers explore single-subject research designs, grounded in real-world examples drawn from classic and contemporary research in education and beyond. This text aims to give readers precise and highly applicable information and concepts in single-case, or single-subject, designs so readers can apply this knowledge to their own research and practice. By focusing on the experimental nature of this design, students learn about the purposes of single-case research so they can adapt the designs, using them as tools in their methodological toolboxes rather than as formulas to be followed. Beginning with an overview of experiments, single-case designs, and strategic issues, the book then moves onto a review of measurement approaches, different tactics for research designs, and ways to understand data and analysis. Boxed features throughout offer readers more explanation and background of key methodological concepts. Reflection questions at the end of each chapter help students reinforce their knowledge. This brief text concisely and thoroughly covers the landscape of single-case designs.

Single-Case Experimental Designs for Clinical Research and Neurorehabilitation Settings: Planning, Conduct, Analysis and Reporting (Neuropsychological Rehabilitation: A Modular Handbook)
by Robyn Tate Michael PerdicesThis book is a practical resource designed for clinicians, researchers, and advanced students who wish to learn about single-case research designs. It covers the theoretical and methodological underpinnings of single-case designs, as well as their practical application in the clinical and research neurorehabilitation setting. The book briefly traces the history of single-case experimental designs (SCEDs); outlines important considerations in understanding and planning a scientifically rigorous single-case study, including internal and external validity; describes prototypical single-case designs (withdrawal-reversal designs and the medical N-of-1 trial, multiple-baseline designs, alternating-treatments designs, and changing-criterion designs) and required features to meet evidence standards, threats to internal validity, and strategies to address them; addresses data evaluation, covering visual analysis of graphed data, statistical techniques, and clinical significance; and provides a practical ten-step procedure for implementing single-case methods. Each chapter includes detailed illustrative examples from the neurorehabilitation literature. Novel features include: A focus on the neurorehabilitation setting, which is particularly suitable for single-case designs because of the complex and often unique presentation of many patients/clients. A practical approach to the planning, implementation, data analysis, and reporting of single-case designs. An appendix providing a detailed summary of many recently published SCEDs in representative domains in the neurorehabilitation field, covering basic and instrumental activities of daily living, challenging behaviours, disorders of communication and cognition, mood and emotional functions, and motor-sensory disabilities. It is valuable reading for clinicians and researchers in several disciplines working in rehabilitation, including clinical and neuropsychology, education, language and speech pathology, occupational therapy, and physical therapy. It is also an essential resource for advanced students in these fields who need a textbook for specialised courses on research methodology and use of single-case design in applied clinical and research settings.
Single-Case Research Design and Analysis: New Directions for Psychology and Education (Psychology Revivals)
by Thomas R. Kratochwill Joel R. LevinOriginally published in 1992, the editors of this volume fulfill three main goals: to take stock of progress in the development of data-analysis procedures for single-subject research; to clearly explain errors of application and consider them within the context of new theoretical and empirical information of the time; and to closely examine new developments in the analysis of data from single-subject or small n experiments. To meet these goals, this book provides examples of applicable single-subject research data analysis. It presents a wide variety of topics and perspectives and hopes that readers will select the data-analysis strategies that best reflect their methodological approaches, statistical sophistication, and philosophical beliefs. These strategies include visual analysis, nonparametric tests, time-series experiments, applications of statistical procedures for multiple behaviors, applications of meta-analysis in single-subject research, and discussions of issues related to the application and misapplication of selected techniques.

Single-Case Research Methods in Sport and Exercise Psychology
by Aidan Moran Marc Jones Paul McCarthy Jamie BarkerWhat is single-case research? How can single-case methods be used within sport and exercise? Single-case research is a powerful method for examining change in outcome variables such as behaviour, performance and psychological constructs, and for assessing the efficacy of interventions. It has innumerable uses within the context of sport and exercise science, such as in the development of more effective performance techniques for athletes and sportspeople and in helping us to better understand exercise behaviours in clinical populations. However, the fundamental principles and techniques of single-case research have not always been clearly understood by students and researchers working in these fields. Single-Case Research Methods in Sport and Exercise Psychology is the first book to fully explain single-case research in the context of sport and exercise. Starting with first principles, the book offers a comprehensive introduction to the single-case research process, from study design to data analysis and presentation. Including case studies and examples from across sport and exercise psychology, the book provides practical guidance for students and researchers and demonstrates the advantages and common pitfalls of single-case research for anybody working in applied or behavioural science in a sport or exercise setting.

Now Slawson is ready to cement everything she&’s learned into a book.Using her personal experiences along with insights gleaned from years of interviews, Slawson offers us an open, witty, and warmhearted exploration of single life, taking an honest look at its challenges but just as keenly celebrating its joys. She writes about feeling left behind and navigating friendships as people get married and have children; managing personal finances, career, ambition, and self-reliance; deciding whether or not to be a single mother; dealing with the shame and stigma of being single; embracing the freedom and happiness that can be found in being single; and so much more.A vibrant life is within reach for all of us, with or without a partner. Whether you are single long term, recently, keen not to be, happy to be, considering becoming, voluntarily, involuntarily, and so on, Single is an optimistic companion, providing comfort, hope, and understanding to anyone who reads it. It is a reminder that you are not alone, you have what it takes to handle life&’s challenges, and you deserve to squeeze as much joy as you can out of your life right now, instead of feeling like you&’re waiting for it to start.
Singular Selves: An Introduction to Singles Studies
by Ketaki Chowkhani and Craig WynneThis book examines, for perhaps the first time, singlehood at the intersections of race, media, language, culture, literature, space, health, and life satisfaction. It adopts an interdisciplinary approach, borrowing from sociology, literary studies, medical humanities, race studies, linguistics, demographic studies, and critical geography to understand singlehood in the world today. This collection of essays aims to establish the discipline of Singles Studies, finding new ways of examining it from various disciplinary and cultural perspectives. It begins with laying the field and then moves on to critically look at how race has shaped the way we understand singlehood in the West and how class, age, gender, privilege, and the media play a role in shaping singlehood. It argues for a need for increased interdisciplinarity within the field, for example, analyzing singlehood from the perspective of medical humanities. The volume also explores the role workplace, living arrangements, financial status, and gender play in single people’s life satisfaction. With an interdisciplinary and transnational approach, this interdisciplinary volume seeks to establish Singles Studies as a truly global discipline. This pathbreaking volume would be of interest to students and researchers of sociology, literature, linguistics, media studies, and psychology.
