joap-study-design

separate

Use when designing studies and measurement for a Journal of Applied Psychology (JAP) manuscript so they meet the journal's high bar on construct validity, causal inference, common-method variance, nested/multilevel data, and sample-size justification. Strengthens the design and measurement plan; it does not write code.

When to use

• Planning a study or multi-study package
• Writing a preregistration or pre-analysis plan
• Addressing reviewer questions on CMV, causal inference, or measurement
• Justifying sample size at the relevant level of analysis
• Designing against common-method variance
• Modeling nested or multilevel data structures
• Strengthening causal claims with temporal or source separation

When not to use

• Writing code
