Understanding Statistics in Psychology, 9e by Dennis Howitt and Duncan Cramer provides a trusted, accessible, and complete introduction to statistics in psychology.
Clear explanations and diagrams break down the statistical techniques that are used in modern psychological research and updated examples of real-life studies bring the topic to life by showing you how statistics are used in practice. The new software-agnostic approach of this edition means that you will gain a solid understanding of statistics which can then be applied using any statistical package to analyse your data. The modular structure means that it is easy for you to dip in and out of this text, concentrating on the techniques that are the most relevant for you and your own research projects.
This text does not only show you how to analyse data, but also contains clear and detailed guidance of the whole research process. From choosing the appropriate test to interpreting your findings and successfully writing up reports, this text helps you build the skills you need to transition from a student to a researcher.
