Single-Subject Research Resources:
Public Documents Home

This listing shows resources about single-subject research that are available to the general public. I have them split into two parts, one that is composed of links to other sources for SSD info and a second that is composed of a few items I've developed and make available for general use.

Remote Matter

• The Journal of Applied Behavior Analysis (JABA) is one of the premier, if not the foremost, source for examples about single-subject research, providing both excellent examples of the use of the methods in applied behaivoral settings as well as valuable articles about the methods themselves. The elder sibling of JABA is the Journal of the Experimental Analysis of Behavior (JEAB), a source for more basic experiments about the behavior of individuals (both human and infra-human). Both of these are published by the Society for the Experimental Analysis of Behavior, a not-for-profit organization that strives to offer resources at low cost to those interested in research on behavior.
• The Association for Behavior Analysis is a membership organization that aims to promote research, education, and practice in behavior analysis. Most behavior analytic research used SSD methods.
• The Cambridge Center for Behavioral Studies (warning: frames) has less about SSD than about the applications of the results of single-subject research, but the applications described there illustrate how that research leads to worthwhile technologies.

Local Matter

• As in most research, the selection of research questions is a critical aspect of single-subject research. There's a page here that talks about research questions for which single-subject designs are appropriate and inappropriate.
• I created a simple spreadsheet that permits one to calculate different agreement statistics (over agreement, occurence agreement, kappa, etc.). [Windows users, right click the link; Mac users, control-click the link.]
• There is also a sheet that calculates odds ratio
