Summary: "Statistics for Psychology is an interactive highly visual and accessible guide to the statistical practices you will encounter as a psychology student. Its software agnostic approach keeps the focus on the core principles rather than getting bogged down in complicated formulae and jargon. This book is based on the authors BPS commended programme. It focusses on providing the strong foundational understanding you all need to use statistics confidently and creatively rather than the software-specific way in which statistics is often taught"-- from the Publishers website.
