I found this book greatly supportive to a non-statistically minded person such as myself. The authors realise that not everyone feels comfortable with doing statistics and, indeed, actually dread it. Since I need to do a Statistics for Psychology course to continue in Psychology it has been a relief that the main text used has been written to aid the statistically impaired. It is fulled with many mind-easing comments etc. and, with the combination of this book and my lecturer at the University of Canterbury, I am actually learning to enjoy something I never thought I would enjoy. A big thank you to Arthur and Elaine Aron. You have helped me continue my studies in the field I wish to remain in - Psychology.

I've never come across a textbook with so many mathematical and typographical errors! It was absolutely infuriating! We could never trust what the book gave as a solution to an exercise.

If the authors would fix these errors it would be a decent text.

I was amazed w/how clearly this book explained concepts (as compared with other books/professors). The book also explains the concepts in different ways/perspectives, so that if you don't understand one explanation you're likely to understand the others. The book also has a perfect range of material--complete coverage of Z-scores, t-tests, regression, and ANOVAs; all the way thru concepts like MANOVA/MANCOVA, and multiple regression. Also at the end includes a couple great chapters which give very simple explanations of more complex procedures such as structural equation modeling, causal modeling, factor analysis, etc. By far the best stats book I've read.

The book looks great except for one thing...there is a giant slit down the spine of the book....it looks like someone took a box cutter to it. This was not listed in the product details. Very disappointed about that. Other than that the book is great.

I bought this book to go along with my required Elementary Statistics course. The problem is that I've already been required to take a Probability and Statistics course. They are pretty much identical with the only exception being that the Statistics for Psychology textbook makes sure that all of its examples are those of psychological studies. More on the fault of my college than the book. It does it's job of explaining the concepts, which are elementary. There is an entire chapter dedicated to finding the mean, median, and mode. Thrilling read..

Book is very easy to understand. Provides the reader with many examples to grasp the idea that is being conveyed. I really enjoy learning statistics through the use of this book.

This seller went above & beyond to make the sale. It's refreshing to buy from someone who takes extra time, communicates & follows through. Thanks so much would purchase again!

When I learned that Amazon.com had everything I needed I started using it. Especially when going to school and the books are so expective I started ordering my books through Amazon.com and it's been great. For Example, Statistics for Psychology was a huge help for me in class. I paid a great price for it when book stores was asking for $150, with Amazon.com I saved so much money, and the book came on time and it was a great help to have in-front of me when doing my work. This book was very informative and explained everything step by step, I believe if it was not for this book I would have failed my class.

The book came about three days after I ordered it; was exactly as described. Great job. THANK YOU!

although this book is not bad and explains statistical concepts in a nice way, the amount of errors this book has is huge.
it feels like the writers of this book wrote it fast cuze the errors are not conceptual - they are numerical.
so for paying so much money for this - i expected more than that.
