What will be an ideal response?
Some potential problems that have been identified include the following: (1) the appropriateness of dependent measures, (2) the absence of control groups, (3) small sample sizes, (4) improper sampling procedures, (5) inappropriate statistical techniques, (6) inadequate documentation of treatment, (7) validity issues, and (8) variability in subject populations. While there are no clear cut solutions to these problems, students might suggest options such as more clearly defining key terms (dependent measures), using control groups where appropriate, using bigger sample sizes, increasing qualitative assessments of treatment, and ensuring samples sizes consistently match the population under investigation.
