For many college students, statistical collection, analysis, and writing a data-driven report can seem to be an overwhelming task. Professors often gloss over critical points and dance through a statistics curriculum as if students actually understand or follow what is being said. Statistics can be one of the hardest courses in the curriculum if you aren't armed with the right textbook. This book was written primarily for the research methods course psychology majors must complete. When I was in Elementary Statistics I turned to this book again and again for the guidance and help I desperately needed.

Dr. Sherri L. Jackson's "Research Methods: A Critical Thinking Approach" is a phenomenal textbook! I wouldn't have passed Statistics or Research Methods without it.

I enjoyed reading this textbook and working through the many exercises, self-tests, and critical thinking reviews. The book gives meanings to unfamiliar terms and breaks down complicated formulas into simple ideas. The book is designed for students to succeed! Dr. Jackson takes a magnanimous and intimidating subject and makes enjoyable to read and work through. If planning to take a research methods course or to go to grad school this is an ultimate resource book to add to your library. I find myself turning to it any time I pursue a research project.

I used this book for a stats class and ended up getting a 4.0. This is a great book for people who want or need to learn statistics.

This book is absolutely perfect for someone studying research methods in Psychology. I took statistics but have found that this book actually does a better job of explaining the concepts and the math in layman's terms-much better than my stats book did. I am finding I actually understand more of the concepts I didn't get in that class. It is well written and not too wordy to lose you. Also, seller was perfect. Book arrived in better than described condition and fast. Thanks very much!

I like the addition of the exercises in the back, but this version has replaced the great quick-reference flowcharts in the front of the book with a tacky Cengage ad. The quick-reference chart was THE thing I needed as a beginning statistics student to get my head around what to use when. It's a shame this was left out.

I was very pleased with my purchase. It was in good shape, and it was delivered in a timely manner. My only complaint is that with 3rd party purchases, if it is the wrong item, they will not take it back. It was the wrong edition and the seller would not allow me to return it so it was a waste of money for me. But otherwise, I was pleased with the purchase.

This book came less than a week, there were no issues, book in great condition, would bye from again!

I recieve the book in a timely manner and in excellent condition. If the price is right I will always buy from amazon.
