چکیده
Quantitative sophistication is increasingly central to research in clinical psychology. Both our theories and the statistical techniques available to test our hypotheses have grown in complexity over the last few decades, such that the novice clinical researcher now faces a bewildering array of analytic options. The purpose of this article is to provide a conceptual overview of the use of statistics in clinical science. The first portion of this article describes five major research questions that clinical psychology researchers commonly address and provides a brief overview of the statistical methods that frequently are employed to address each class of questions. These questions are neither exhaustive nor mutually exclusive, but rather are intended to serve as a heuristic for organizing and thinking about classes of research questions in clinical psychology and the techniques most closely associated with them. The second portion of the article articulates guiding principles that underlie the responsible use of statistics in clinical psychology.
