1. Statistics in psychology 2. Variables 3. Describing and summarising data 4. Seeing patterns in data: comparing 5. Seeing patterns in data: correlating 6. The relevance of probability 7. Statistical tests: comparing 8. Statistical tests: correlating 9. Experimentation in psychology 10. Seeing patterns in data: comparing more than two groups 11. Statistical tests: comparing more than two groups 12. Seeing patterns in data: comparisons involving more than one independent variable 13. Statistical tests: comparing more than one independent variable 14. Relating: multiple variables 15. Overview
This book confronts the pedagogic challenge of teaching statistics to students in psychology and related disciplines. Recognising the heterogeneous nature of students' mathematical backgrounds and motivations, the authors adopt an innovative approach while ensuring ready integration into orthodox undergraduate statistics courses at introductory and post-introductory levels. Before being introduced to formal statistics, students are encouraged to develop a 'feel' for data, particularly through visual representation. Making extensive use of exploratory data analysis (EDA), the text emphasises conceptual rather than technical or procedural understanding
