Statistics for The Behavioral and Social Sciences: A Brief Course

For courses that focus on the basics in statistics or combine statistics with research methods

The 5th edition of Statistics for the Behavioral and Social Sciences builds off an already well-established approach - emphasising the intuitive, de-emphasising the mathematical, and explaining everything in direct, simple language - but also goes beyond these principles to further student understanding. By using definitional formulas to emphasise the concepts of statistics, rather than rote memorisation, students work problems in a way that keeps them constantly aware of the underlying logic of what they are doing.
