This text introduces readers to the history, epistemology, and strategies of single-case research design. The authors offer concrete
information on how to observe, measure, and interpret change in relevant outcome variables and how to design strategies that promote causal inferences. Key Features Includes case vignettes on specific single-case designs; Describes clinical and applied case studies; Draws on multiple examples of single-case designs from published journals across a wide range of disciplines; Covers recent developments in applied research, including meta-analysis and the distinction
between statistical and clinical significance; Provides pedagogical tools to help readers master the material, including a glossary, interim summaries, end-of-chapter review questions, and activities that encourage active processing of material. Intended Audience This text is intended for students and practitioners in a variety of disciplines—including psychology, nursing, physical therapy, and occupational therapy—who are increasingly called upon to document the
effectiveness of interventions. Comparing Group and Single-Case DesignsThroughout the behavioral and health sciences, correlational and experimental studies dominate the research design landscape. Although differing from one another both with respect to the ability to control relevant variables and in terms of the kinds of inferences supported by the method, correlational and ... locked icon Sign in to access this contentSign in Get a 30 day FREE TRIAL

KratochwillLAST MODIFIED: 29 July 2020DOI: 10.1093/obo/9780199828340-0265IntroductionSingle-case experimental designs are a family of experimental designs that are characterized by researcher manipulation of an independent variable and repeated measurement of a dependent variable before (i.e., baseline) and after (i.e., intervention phase) introducing the independent variable. In single-case experimental designs a case is the unit of intervention and analysis (e.g., a child, a school). Because measurement within each case is conducted before and after manipulation of the independent variable, the case typically serves as its own control. Experimental variants of single-case designs provide a basis for determining a causal relation by replication of the intervention through (a) introducing and withdrawing the independent variable, (b) manipulating the independent variable across different phases, and (c) introducing the independent variable in a staggered fashion across different points in time. Due to their economy of resources, single-case designs may be useful during development activities and allow for rapid replication across studies. General Overviews and Primary TextbooksSeveral sources provide overviews of single-case experimental designs. Barlow, et al. 2009 includes an overview for the development of single-case experimental designs, describes key considerations for designing and conducting single-case experimental design research, and reviews procedural elements, assessment strategies, and replication considerations. Kazdin 2011 provides detailed coverage of single-case experimental design variants as well as approaches for evaluating data in single-case experimental designs. Kratochwill and Levin 2014 describes key methodological features that underlie single-case experimental designs, including philosophical and statistical foundations and data evaluation. Ledford and Gast 2018 covers research conceptualization and writing, design variants within single-case experimental design, definitions of variables and associated measurement, and approaches to organize and evaluate data. Riley-Tillman and Burns 2009 provides a practical orientation to single-case experimental designs to facilitate uptake and use in applied settings.

Down What is the difference between a case study and single case design?A case study is a form of descriptive research that seeks to identify explanatory patterns for phenomena and generates hypotheses for future research. Single-subject research designs provide a quasi-experimental approach to investigating causal relationships between independent and dependent variables.
How is a case study different from a single case experiment quizlet?How is a case study different from a single-case experiment? A single-case experiment involves manipulation of at least one variable, and a case study does not.
What is the difference between experimental design and single subject design?Unlike true experiments where the researcher randomly assigns participants to a control and treatment group, in single subject research the participant serves as both the control and treatment group. The researcher uses line graphs to show the effects of a particular intervention or treatment.
What is a single case study research design?In design of experiments, single-subject curriculum or single-case research design (SCED) is a research design most often used in applied fields of psychology, education, and human behaviour in which the subject serves as his/her own control, rather than using another individual/group.
