Researchers in the social sciences are often in fundamental disagreement about what constitutes validity. Much emphasis has been given to increasing validity through the application of various techniques. Brinberg and McGrath point out that research is not advanced by these diverse concepts of validity nor the uniform stress on technical applications to attain it. Instead, they propose a new way of viewing validity issues -- an abstract and complex set of logical relationships that they call the Validity Network Schema, or VNS. In essence, VNS distinguishes between three 'domains' of the research process (substantive, conceptual, and methodological) and three 'stages' of it (validity as value, validity as correspondence, and validity as robustness). The authors draw their examples from their own areas of expertise: social psychology, consumer behaviour, and organizational research. They present a comprehensive view of the research process that ties together previously separate views of validity. Glossaries at the end of each chapter ensure that the VNS terminology is clearly understood.

Contributions to Correlational Analysis provides information pertinent to the fundamental aspects of correlational analysis that can be used to replace and enhance many of the parametric and nonparametric inferential statistical tests. This book discusses the basic concern of correctional analysis, which is the relationship between two sets of measure. Organized into 18 chapters, this book begins with an overview of the nature of correction analysis. This text then explains the simple linear relationships in which explains the simple linear relationships in which Y and X each consists of some single measurement per person and the relationship is assumed to be linear. Other chapters consider basic ways of expanding the process to include more or different measurements of either X or Y but with no attempt to find the best functions. This book discusses as well the topic of factor analysis. The final chapter deals with canonical correlation. This book is a valuable resource for psychologists.

Good, bad, or indifferent, every customer has an experience with your company and the products or services you provide. But few businesses really manage that customer experience, so they lose the chance to transform customers into lifetime customers. In this book, Lou Carbone shows exactly how to engineer world-class customer experiences, one clue at a time. Carbone draws on the latest neuroscientific research to show how customers transform physical and emotional sensations into powerful perceptions of your business... perceptions that crystallize into attitudes that dictate everything from satisfaction to loyalty. And he explains how to assess and audit existing customer experiences, design and implement new ones... and "steward" them over time, to ensure that they remain outstanding, no matter how your customers change.
