Emphasizing meaning and concepts, not just symbols and numbers



Statistics for Psychology, 6th edition places definitional formulas center stage to emphasize the logic behind statistics and discourage rote memorization. Each procedure is explained in a direct, concise language and both verbally and numerically.

MyStatLab is an integral part of the Statistics course. MyStatLab gives students practice with hundreds of homework problems. Every problem includes tools to help students understand and solve each problem - and grades all of the problems for instructors. MyStatLab also includes tests, quizzes, eText, a Gradebook, a customizable study plan, and much more.

Learning Goals

Upon completing this book, readers should be able to:

Know both definitional and numerical formulas and how to apply them

Understand the logic behind each formula

Expose students to the latest thinking in statistical theory and application

Prepare students to read research articles

Learn how to use SPSS

Features + Benefits

Provides a concise summary of definitional formulas mathematically, verbally, and visually so students can understand the logic behind the procedure. The authors emphasizes on accessibility for all readers. (ex. pg. 36)

Gives examples of how a statistical method is reported in current journal articles (ex. pg. 350)

Engages in the most current statistical theory and application

“How are you Doing” exercises for students serves as a checkpoint for each chapter (ex. pg. 89)

SPSS screen shots are included within the text to further facilitate learning. Examples in the text show students how to compute SPSS procedures and include a worked out example with screen shots. (ex. pg. 31 - 33)
