Product description

Review

“I like the order in which the topics are presented. The order is the same way that I would choose if I were writing a text myself.”

- Kathleen Denson, Texas A&M Commerce

“Aron et al. strives to make statistical concepts accessible to students who may not have a background or interests in math.”

- Brock Kirwan, Brigham Young University

“This text is at a level that I would feel comfortable assigning to my intro stats students.”

- Osvaldo Morera, University of Texas at El Paso

“I like that [the text] introduced students to more complex techniques in an effort to help them to understand the articles that they are reading with more complex statistics in them”

-Stacey Williams, East Tennessee State University

“.The Level of writing is it’s strongest assets. Very clear step by step instructions. The level of writing is very appropriate to my students”

-Stephen Armeli, Farleigh Dickinson

- Kristin Lane, Bard College

5.0 out of 5 stars Easy to comprehend

Throughout my college years, I've always dreaded every textbook I've had to read. However, this book, intimidating as it is, is actually much easier to read than I expected and super helpful. It made a difficult course much more manageable, and completing the problems at the end of each chapter really helped me learn and succeed. Got an A in statistics, and I have a great teacher and this book to thank!

5.0 out of 5 stars Great overall psych stats book
Reviewed in Canada on 9 October 2017

I would say that this is more of an undergraduate-level intro to stats. Definitely not an advanced book. However I'm sure that anyone would find this text helpful. I had originally rented this elsewhere and when I realized how well-written and valuable it is, I bought it. I refer to it all the time. It covers just about any type of analysis and it explains STEP BY STEP how it should be conducted. It also includes STEP BY STEP SPSS instructions. I emphasize the step by step because it was SO helpful for me in learning each analysis. The text is written at a level that is easy to understand and using examples that really help illustrate how you might want to apply different stats to different problems. Absolutely recommend. Bonus tip: I bought the Kindle version so that I could search it.

The listing said the book was pretty damaged but in acceptable/useable condition. The spine was almost off, but the pages were perfect. All it needs is glue so I don't mind. As for the textbook's content, it's useful and explains concepts clearly.

4.0 out of 5 stars Hard cover vs. Paperback
Reviewed in Canada on 20 February 2021

The paperback seems to contain more/extra content when compared to the hardcover. Despite my postsecondary coarse using the hard cover copy, I have been able to find all the same information (though not always on the same page number).
