Sample Preparation Techniques in Analytical Chemistry

A useful reference instrument for pro chemists and scholars of chemistry. whereas even the easiest analytical innovations can't rectify difficulties generated through sloppy pattern guidance, this much less "sexy" step among the purpose at which analytes are transferred from the pattern matrix to a sort appropriate for research is frequently ignored.

It is notable how so many of the famous tasks in psychology, the salivary reflex, the rat bar-press, and optical illusions, for example, are so far from everyday experience. Process–outcome discordance deserves careful consideration. This discordance is regrettable, for it is desirable to derive social value from process research. However, the two orientations impose different constraints on design, measurement, and analysis. It is hard enough to attain even one kind of validity, as may be seen in the criticisms of articles in the literature.

1 PROCESS VALIDITY AND OUTCOME VALIDITY Process and outcome correspond to two quite different research goals. Outcome validity is mainly concerned with the observable level of behavior and is a prime goal in applied research. In an accident prevention program, for example, observable frequency of accidents has direct interest in itself. In a Head Start program, similarly, vocabulary size and social skills are outcomes desirable in themselves. The main validity issue concerns how far a given outcome can be generalized beyond the particular situation in which it was obtained.

Students almost inevitably come to view the significance test as the be-all and end-all. This test condenses the entire study into a single number of pivotal importance for making claims about what the study shows. ” thus comes to be considered the ultimate goal. ” seems all the more potent because “significant” carries undertones of everyday meaning. The essential question, of course, is what the results mean. The significance test has the necessary—but minor—function of providing evidence of whether there is a result to interpret.
