[(Fundamental Statistics for the Behavioral Sciences)] [ By (author) David C. Howell ] [March, 2013]

"Fundamental Statistics For The Behavioral Sciences, International Edition" 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 students 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. Students 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 students understand concepts as they learn about the analysis of data.
