Behavioral Statistics in Action

Written for students taking their first course in psychological statistics, this text uses a clear and friendly style to provide an abundance of worked examples, visual displays, interim concept quizzes and other means of reassuring students uncomfortable with maths that they are indeed making progress in the course. The book employs interim questions and answers throughout the chapters, anticipating many questions students have about statistical distinctions and procedures. "Frequent Concept" quizzes check understanding and amplify important points, extensive exercise sets reinforce computational skills and numerous applied problems. "Exercises From the Literature" aims to allow students to think along with research psychologists and provide further motivation for learning the material.
