Abstract

AbstractThis chapter offers an introduction to lab-based science research by delving into the basics of experimental research planning: research designs, statistical power, and selection of the number of participants required for a planned experiment. The theoretical points are illustrated with elements from a pilot study on empathy and closeness in partnered dance developed at Goldsmiths, University of London, entitled ‘Pilot Studies on Empathy and Closeness in Mutual Entrainment/Improvisation vs. Formalised Dance with Different Types of Rhythm (Regular, Irregular, and No Rhythm) and Coupling Visual, Haptic, Full Coupling): Building a Case for the Origin of Dance in Mutual Entrainment Empathic Interactions in the Mother–Infant Dyad’ (Balinisteanu, 2023).
