comprehension and implementation of the statistical analyses most
commonly used in the behavioral sciences.

tracking a common data set throughout, making the concepts
unintimidating and memorable, and providing a framework that
connects all of the topics and allows for easy comparison of
different statistical analyses

text, such as the ‘correlation is not causality’ principle
* Updated and annotated SPSS output at the end of each chapter
with step-by-step instructions
