Understanding and Using Statistics in Psychology takes the fear out of psychological statistics to help students understand why statistics are carried out, how to choose the best test, how to carry out the tests, and then perform the analysis in SPSS.

Emphasizing the place of statistical analysis in the process of conducting research, from design to report writing, this accessible and straightforward guide takes a non-technical approach, encouraging the reader to understand why a particular test is being used and what the results mean in the context of a psychological study. The focus is on meaning and understanding rather than numerical calculation.

Key Features:
  • Light and accessible style
  • Descriptions of the most commonly used statistical tests and the principles that underlie them
  • Real world psychological example datasets to aid the understanding of why statistics are valuable
  • Boxes on common errors, tips and quotes
  • Test yourself questions


The perfect introductory resource, Understanding and Using Statistics in Psychology will guide any student new to statistics effortlessly through the process of test selection and analysis.
