FUNDAMENTAL STATISTICS FOR THE BEHAVIORAL SCIENCES focuses on providing the context of statistics in behavioral research, while emphasizing the importance of looking at data before jumping into a test. This practical approach provides readers with an understanding of the logic behind the statistics, so they understand why and how certain methods are used--rather than simply carry out techniques by rote. Readers move beyond number crunching to discover the meaning of statistical results and appreciate how the statistical test to be employed relates to the research questions posed by an experiment. An abundance of real data and research studies provide a real-life perspective and help you understand concepts as you learn about the analysis of data.

5.0 out of 5 stars very well written and extremely engaging

This textbook on statistics is intended for students of the behavioural sciences. I have been co-teaching a module on statistics for a Masters programme in Human-Centred Interactive Technologies, and this is one of the recommended books. I used it as one of the texts to reference as I prepared my lectures.

Since it is a textbook, I have not read it from cover to cover. However, I have read considerably more of it than I originally intended. Each time I looked up a particular technique, and started reading, I just seemed to keep on reading. The book is very well written and extremely engaging.

It also has the right depth for students who are technically literate, but not mathematicians. Many statistics books can be either all theory, targeted at mathematicians, or all ‘magic’, targeted at those who want recipes rather than understanding. This book hits the sweet spot of formalism combined with pragmatism with great verve: providing background and context so that the workings of the various tests make sense, with sufficient technicalities to inform rather than confuse.

Some of the included vignettes demonstrate the care that is needed. There is one tale of a renowned statistician who had invented various tests, yet still got the number of degrees of freedom wrong on one of them. These precision tools are hard to invent (so probably best not to invent your own!), but once they have been, they can be taught and used with relative ease. This is how we progress.

Highly recommended.

5.0 out of 5 stars An actually readable and understandable stats textbook
Reviewed in the United States on 18 January 2015

This is a great textbook for learning stats focused on psychology and the other behavioral sciences. This particular book has a great conceptual flow, as compared to other books that order content differently, and is actually readable! When it comes to stats, not many are looking forward to reading a book on it; most don't expect to gain anything from straight reading a book on math. Many textbooks on math subjects can be overly tedious and so complex they are difficult to read and understand as a standalone source. However, this book was so readable and understandable. As far as reading text on math, (nerd alert) this was almost story like. I would absolutely recommend this book to people who want to learn stats on their own, as well as for teaching purposes.

Just what I needed for class. Just a little beat up but you would expect that with a rental.
