Product Description
Review
"An interesting, technically oriented volume, editor Birnbaum's carefully crafted compilation serves as both handbook and reference for students and researchers, even crossing the border into the technology field." --FIRST MONDAY
Product Description
Until recently, most psychological research was conducted using subject samples in close proximity to the investigators - namely university undergraduates. In recent years, however, it has become possible to test people from all over the world by placing experiments on the internet. The number of people using the internet for this purpose is likely to become the main venue for subject pools in coming years. As such, learning about experiments on the internet will be of vital interest to all research psychologists. "Psychological Experiments on the Internet" is divided into three sections. Section I discusses the history of web experimentation, as well as the advantages, disadvantages, and validity of web-based psychological research. Section II discusses examples of web-based experiments on individual differences and cross-cultural studies. Section III provides readers with the necessary information and techniques for utilizing the internet in their own research designs. This is an innovative topic that will capture the imagination of many readers, and includes examples of actual web based experiments.

Beware the stochastic dominance
16 Sep 2000
Format:Hardcover
Most of the chapters are pretty good for learning how useful internet research is going to be to you and discovering effective techniques to use, but if you're not up on decision theory, skip Mike's own. It is so arcane as to be impenetrable unless this is your field.
Generally readable and useful.

A new area that shines through
22 April 2000
Format:Hardcover
The web is a wonderful vehicle for communication and interaction. Psychology seems to finally starts to find its own path in the Internet area. This book covers this yet unchartered territory in a clear and comprehensive way and opens up new possibilities that one can't afford to ignore.
