Statistics for the Behavioral Sciences is an introduction to statistics text that will engage students in an ongoing spirit of discovery by illustrating how statistics apply to modern-day research problems. By integrating instructions, screenshots, and practical examples for using IBM SPSS® Statistics software, the book makes it easy for students to learn statistical concepts within each chapter. Gregory J. Privitera takes a user-friendly approach while balancing statistical theory, computation, and application with the technical instruction needed for students to succeed in the modern era of data collection, analysis, and statistical interpretation.
I rated it five stars not because I loved it, but because I easily grasped the theories and application of statistics. The format of the book as well as the walk through of SPSS throughout each chapter was incredibly helpful. I’ll definitely keep this textbook with me for future studies and reference.
