心理學(xué)實驗在心理學(xué)科的發(fā)展進(jìn)程中具有不可替代的作用。而心理學(xué)研究報告(或論文)是心理學(xué)研究成果最重要的表達(dá)形式之一。心理學(xué)研究報告的撰寫既涉及與研究課題的理論背景、研究假設(shè)等相關(guān)的科學(xué)知識，又涉及與實驗設(shè)計、統(tǒng)計相關(guān)的實驗結(jié)構(gòu)知識和與心理學(xué)科技論文寫作規(guī)范相關(guān)的知識。這種論文撰寫能力的形成和提升尚需要一個不斷訓(xùn)練、不斷實踐的過程。就我國高等院校的心理學(xué)專業(yè)目前所開設(shè)的諸如：普通心理學(xué)、認(rèn)知心理學(xué)、實驗心理學(xué)、心理統(tǒng)計等專業(yè)基礎(chǔ)課程而言，似無法獨立完成對學(xué)生的這種綜合訓(xùn)練，因此有必要開設(shè)相應(yīng)的課程或?qū)ｎ}。
《心理學(xué)實驗的設(shè)計與報告》語言簡練、易讀易懂，對學(xué)生在撰寫研究報告過程中所遇到的實際問題給出了操作性很強的指導(dǎo)，可作為我國高等院校心理學(xué)專業(yè)學(xué)生(包括本科生和研究生)的教材或教學(xué)參考書，也可作為心理學(xué)工作者撰寫心理學(xué)研究報告(或論文)的參考手冊。
