心理学实验在心理学科的发展进程中具有不可替代的作用。而心理学研究报告(或论文)是心理学研究成果最重要的表达形式之一。心理学研究报告的撰写既涉及与研究课题的理论背景、研究假设等相关的科学知识，又涉及与实验设计、统计相关的实验结构知识和与心理学科技论文写作规范相关的知识。这种论文撰写能力的形成和提升尚需要一个不断训练、不断实践的过程。就我国高等院校的心理学专业目前所开设的诸如：普通心理学、认知心理学、实验心理学、心理统计等专业基础课程而言，似无法独立完成对学生的这种综合训练，因此有必要开设相应的课程或专题。
《心理学实验的设计与报告》语言简练、易读易懂，对学生在撰写研究报告过程中所遇到的实际问题给出了操作性很强的指导，可作为我国高等院校心理学专业学生(包括本科生和研究生)的教材或教学参考书，也可作为心理学工作者撰写心理学研究报告(或论文)的参考手册。
