Synopsis:

Class tested and developed for over two decades, the material in this text on statistics for psychology reflects recent changes both in research practice and in readers studying psychology. The text is presented in a way that is not complicated and therefore applicable to students of psychology who have a tendency to be more human and word orientated than math and number orientated.
