Purpose: Research designs are used to test whether a program, treatment, or operation causes a certain result and need to meet three conditions: covariation, temporal precedence, and no plausible alternative explanations. The last condition is the mo...
The first illustration involves a re-analysis of data from a study by Marsden (2004), in which pre-test scores are plotted against gain scores to demonstrate RTM effects. The second illustration is a methodological review of single group, pre- and post-test research designs (pre-experiments) ...
This article provides two illustrations of some of the factors that can influence findings from pre- and post-test research designs in evaluation studies, including regression to the mean (RTM), maturation, history and test effects. The first illustration involves a re-analysis of data from a st...
PRE-TESTPOST-TEST 7: Paired Samples Data and exploration This chapter considers the analysis of a quantitative outcome based on paired samples. Paired samples (also called dependent samples) are samples in which natural or matched couplings occur. In paired samples, each data point in one sample ...
To address these aims, we conducted a pre-test/post-test trial with N = 32 randomly selected fourth-year medical students. During the pre-test, we assessed the students’ knowledge, attitudes, and self-efficacy regarding exploring spiritual aspects. For this purpose, we developed a short-...
