Product Description

Review

"The book achieves a great deal in a short space, and I am sure many readers will find it extremely useful.... This is an unusual and generally well–written book that will be valuable for those who want their statistical understanding to come from words rather than numbers or mathematics." (Psychology Learning and Teaching, Autumn 2008)


Product Description

Designed for those approaching this subject for the first time, Easy Statistics in Psychology is a short, readable guide to the ideas behind statistical formulae and the benefits that a rigorous statistical approach brings to psychological research. Packed with useful analogies, it helps students get beyond the numbers.

  • Focuses on the ideas and practicalities of statistics in psychology, rather than an array of complex numbers and formulas
  • Covers the key tests and concepts relevant to the undergraduate student
  • Includes a helpful section on the uses and abuses of statistics, outlining when the specific tests can be used and when they should not
  • Written by the author of Your Undergraduate Psychology Project: A BPS Guide (Blackwell, 2004)

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent resource for people confused by stats!, 4 May 2009
By Mrs. N. H. Roberts "Nicky" (West Yorkshire, UK) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
I was looking for a stats book that would explain everything in plain english, to help me through my Clinical Psychology Doctorate interviews. When I saw this book I had to buy it immediately as I had the pleasure of being taught by Mark Forshaw many years ago at Coventry and he was by far and away the best lecturer we ever had - always making the mundane and hard to follow topics funny and understandable. I was not disappointed. I read the book from beginning to end in 2 afternoons and actually enjoyed it! It covers all the main areas, and stats, that you need to know in a way that actually makes sense. This book gave me enormous confidence going into my interviews and I've ended up with an offer from Manchester and a reserve at Leeds. So thanks Mark! Even after all these years your approach works the best.

I've never left a review for anything before but I can't recommend this book more highly - buy it if you want to understand the basics of stats in Psychology, it'll serve you well!

5.0 out of 5 stars The ONLY book you will need for Statistics, 10 Feb 2009
By M. Lewton - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This review is from: Easy Statistics in Psychology: A BPS Guide (Hardcover)
Getting your head around statistics can be a very daunting task, especially for first year psychology students who have little or no prior knowledge of statistical concepts. Easy Statistics is a book I would recommend to all single and joint honoured psychology students; it's written in a clear concise manner with humours lines here and there just to lighten the mood of such a dull topic. It's easy to follow and the author gives clear cut details of the things you really need to know, unlike many other statistical books I have read which waffle on about the history of how these statistical calculations came to be!

It really is a book that walks you step-by-step through everything you will probably ever need to know for your Bsc Psychology degree at Undergraduate level. This book is well worth the investment and I honestly can't recommend it strongly enough. I am presently a First year psychology student who went from not knowing anything about statistics to being able to sit a statistical exam and come out feeling very confident.
