For courses in Statistics in Psychology.Emphasize meaning and concepts rather than symbols and numbersStatistics for Psychology emphasizes the logic behind statistics by placing definitional formulas center stage. For each procedure, the authors provide definitional formulas (in words) and computational formulas (in numbers and symbols). This approach discourages rote memorization and helps students master the statistical analysis skills they need.Joining longtime authors Arthur and Elaine Aron, new co-author and prolific researcher Erin Cooley brings a fresh perspective to the 7th Edition. Her contributions include new examples focusing on social inequality, her area of expertise.Hallmark features of this titleThe authors provide a concise summary of definitional formulas mathematically, verbally and visually. This helps students understand the logic behind the procedure.Examples of how a statistical method is reported in contemporary journal articles help students understand this key skill.The inclusion of the most current statistical theory and applications helps students achieve an up-to-date understanding.How Are You Doing exercises for each chapter serve as a checkpoint for students.SPSS screen shots included within the text facilitate learning.The correlation chapter uses the more intuitive formula for calculating correlation coefficients based on Zscores. This better helps students understand the logic of correlation coefficients.New and updated features of this titleNEW: Co-author Erin Cooley joins authors Arthur and Elaine Aron for the 7th Edition. An Associate Professor at Colgate University and a prolific researcher, Professor Cooley contributes impactful new examples, many focusing on social inequality, her area of expertise.UPDATED: The text's content, examples and coverage of controversies reflect the latest information. The inclusion of more than 50 references to research articles and texts published since 2020 ensures an up-to-date learning experience.UPDATED: Engaging fresh topics serve as examples in the closing chapter, The General Linear Model and Making Sense of Advanced Statistical Procedures in Research Articles. These include whether wanting to spend time alone is necessarily a bad thing among adolescents, how certain resilience resources can contribute to student well-being, and how the music we listen to affects us emotionally.UPDATED: The text's Using SPSS sections have been updated to reflect SPSS 27.

Emphasizing meaning and concepts, not just symbols and numbers Statistics for Psychology, 6th edition places definitional formulas center stage to emphasize the logic behind statistics and discourage rote memorization. Each procedure is explained in a direct, concise language and both verbally and numerically. MyStatLab is an integral part of the Statistics course. MyStatLab gives students practice with hundreds of homework problems. Every problem includes tools to help students understand and solve each problem - and grades all of the problems for instructors. MyStatLab also includes tests, quizzes, eText, a Gradebook, a customizable study plan, and much more. Learning GoalsUpon completing this book, readers should be able to: Know both definitional and numerical formulas and how to apply them Understand the logic behind each formula Expose students to the latest thinking in statistical theory and application Prepare students to read research articles Learn how to use SPSS

For one-quarter/semester courses that focus on the basics in statistics or combine statistics with research methods. The fifth edition of Statistics for the Behavioral and Social Sciences builds off an already well-established approach - emphasizing the intuitive, deemphasizing the mathematical, and explaining everything in direct, simple language - but also goes beyond these principles to further student understanding. By using definitional formulas to emphasize the concepts of statistics, rather than rote memorization, students work problems in a way that keeps them constantly aware of the underlying logic of what they are doing.
