Book Description
Statistics in Psychology covers all statistical methods needed in education and research in psychology. This book looks at research questions when planning data sampling, that is to design the intended study and to calculate the sample sizes in advance. In other words, no analysis applies if the minimum size is not determined in order to fulfil certain precision requirements. The book looks at the process of empirical research into the following seven stages: Formulation of the problem Stipulation of the precision requirements Selecting the statistical model for the planning and analysis The (optimal) design of the experiment or survey Performing the experiment or the survey Statistical analysis of the observed results Interpretation of the results.

Book Description
Modern statistical software provides the ability to compute statistics in a timely, orderly fashion. This introductory statistics textbook presents clear explanations of basic statistical concepts and introduces students to the IBM SPSS program to demonstrate how to conduct statistical analyses via the popular point-and-click and the "syntax file" methods. The focal point is to show students how easy it is to analyse data using SPSS once they have learned the basics. Provides clear explanation of basic statistical concepts that provides the foundation for the beginner students’ statistical journey. Introduces the SPSS software program. Gives clear explanation of the purpose of specific statistical procedures (e.g., frequency distributions, measures of central tendencies, measures of variability, etc.). Avoids the conventional cookbook approach that contributes very little to students’ understanding of the rationale of how the correct results were obtained. The advantage of learning the IBM SPSS software package at the introductory class level is that most social sciences students will employ this program in their later years of study. This is because SPSS is one of the most popular of the many statistical packages currently available. Learning how to use this program at the very start not only familiarizes students with the utility of this program but also provides them with the experience to employ the program to conduct more complex analyses in their later years.

It is used extensively in undergraduate psychology courses throughout the UK and USA. However psychology students find it notoriously difficult and often impossible to learn and use. Howitt and Cramers' SPSS Statistics in Psychology is an indispensible guide to the software, specially tailored for psychology students at all levels. The new edition is greatly enhanced by a several new features, including chapters on the analysis of moderator variables, statistical power, meta - analysis, and the use of SPSS syntax.

The supporting datasets and worked examples also provide an excellent resource for students and teachers. It has easily maintained its lead in a competitive field, and together with its companion textbooks, Introduction to Statistics (Fifth Edition) and Introduction to Research Methods (Third Edition), it has everything that apprentice and experienced researchers in psychology need."

Book Description
This unique text on psychological statistics 1) provides the general rationale underlying many statistical procedures commonly used in psychology, 2) covers a wide range of topics--from the logic of statistical inference to multivariate analysis of variance, and 3) gives simple step-by-step instructions on how to access the relevant SPSS program. Each chapter presents a different procedure (e.g., t-tests, factor analysis, etc.), and briefly describes the basic concepts, purpose, and history necessary to understanding its strengths and limitations. A concrete example is used for each procedure, with the discussion of the SPSS output being directly linked to the underlying statistical model, so that readers can see how the interpretation of results follows from the nature of that procedure. Chapter topics include statistics, computers, and statistical packages; the t-test; single factor analysis of variance designs; completely randomized factorial designs; single factor repeated measures designs; split plot analysis of variance; chi-square analysis of frequency data; bivariate regression and correlation; multiple regression and multiple correlation; factor analysis; and multivariate analysis of variance. A reference guide for statisticians--to remind them of procedures learned earlier in their careers.
