Synopsis:

Statistics for Psychology: International Edition, 4/e

The fourth edition of this popular text uses definitional formulas to emphasize concepts of statistics, rather than rote memorization. This approach constantly reminds students of the logic behind what they are learning, and each procedure is taught both verbally and numerically, which helps to emphasize the concepts.

Hundreds of screen shots and “Step by Step” boxes guide the student through the program.

Introduction to Research Methods in Psychology, 1/e

Introduction to Research Methods in Psychology is specifically written for psychology students approaching research for the first time.  The key theoretical and conceptual issues are discussed in detail alongside the practicalities of doing research.
