Average Rating: 
Rating:  - Painful subject but good text
This is a great resource for statistics classes. That being said, the text is certainly applicable as a self-help text to the statistics world. The text is easy to read, the concepts spelled out, and the examples very helpful. In the back of the book one will find answers to odd numbered questions, enabling one to constantly check on their success in learning the material. Statistics tables are also contained in the back, as with any statistics book. For those that want to brush up on their basic ... Read More
Rating: - Great for people who ask "but why..." at the end of every statement.

Rather than just telling you how to solve the problem, the authors inform you as to why learning it is necessary, and frequently give you real-life, interesting scenarios regarding how specific formulas are used by psychologists.

Occasionally I still go to the book in ... Read More
Rating: - Fantastic Statistics Resource
This is the very best statistics book that I have purchased (and I have purchased 5 others trying to help me get a grasp on this subject)! I would recommend it to anyone who needs an easy--to-read and easy-to-understand textbook on this difficult subject! I hope it helps you as much as it has helped me!
Rating: - Wow! Clear, Concise, Excellent Book
Having seriously struggled for the last two years with the statistics side of my Psychology studies, this book has really made things so much clearer. An excellent book for anyone struggling to grasp the basic statistical concepts required in behavioral sciences.
