About the Book

Introduction to Statistics in Psychology 4th edition is the complete guide to statistics for psychology students. Its range is exceptional in order to meet student needs throughout their undergraduate degree and beyond. By keeping to simple mathematics, step by step explanations of all the important statistical concepts, tests and procedures ensure that students understand data analysis properly. Pedagogical features such as research design issues', calculations' and the advice boxes help structure study into manageable sections whilst the overview and key points help with revision. Plus this 4th edition includes even more examples to bring to life how different statistical tests can be used in different areas of psychology.

Review :
' With a thorough appreciation for a range of topics, the text really is a priceless aid to my revision. This new edition is a student-friendly goldmine, packed full of working examples and theoretical considerations for all of the statistics I study at university'. Joshua Baker, Psychology Student, Nottingham Trent University 'Essential reading for all undergraduate psychology students'. Dr. Andrew J. Stewart, University of Manchester
