Researchers often ‘a design, which enables them to summatize 3 ig elements: Research design can be thought tells you how all the elements in use notational systems to describe gn,» s complex design structure efficiently. A design includes the follo «Observations or measures. These are symbolized by an Oin design notation. An g can refer toa single measure (a measure of body weight), a single instrumen, ‘vith multiple items (a ten-item, selfesteem scale), a complex multipart inst. nent (a survey), ora whole battery of tests or measures given out on one occa sion, If you need to distinguish among specific measures, you can use subscripts with the O,as in Q,, Oz, and so on. . «© Treatments or programs. These are symbolized with an Xin design notation. The Xan refer to a simple intervention (such asa one-time surgical technique) or to a complex hodgepodge program (such as an employmenttraining pro- gram). Usually, a no-treatment control or comparison group has no symbol for the treatment. (Although some researchers use X+ and X— to indicate the treatment and control, respectively.) As with observations, you can use sub- scripts to distinguish different programs or program variations. ‘© Groups, Each group in a design is given its own line in the design structure. For instance, if the design notation has three lines, the design contains three | groups. + Assignment to group. Assignment to group is designated by a letter at the begin ning of cach line (or group) that describes how the group was assigned.
