"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'll need to use statistics confidently and creatively rather than the software-specific way in which statistics is often taught.

This edition includes:

new content throughout on being a responsible researcher,

a new chapter to support you in presenting your research to a critical audience,

carefully designed graphics to explain statistical principles,

""your turn"" exercises to test your understanding of each chapter.

This book is the ideal guide for students approaching statistics and research methods in psychology for the first time.

Answers to ""your turn"" questions and additional resources are also available online at: www.sagepub.co.uk/statisticsforpsychology2e

Roger Watt is Emeritus Professor of Psychology at the University of Stirling.

Roger Watt is Emeritus Professor of Psychology at the University of Stirling. He has spent many years rejecting ‘the system’ and instead is persistently stubborn in doing things his own way. He most enjoys his trumpet, his watercolours, and whatever he has managed to grow in his garden. Statistics for Psychology is the culmination of several years of pushing for change in how statistics should be approached by psychologists and students. Dr Elizabeth Collins is a curious psychology researcher, who has spent many years translating indecipherable and anxiety-inducing statistics jargon to her peers and to her students. A keen world traveller, photographer and bookworm, she fell into statistics accidentally after becoming a peer tutor during her undergraduate studies. She has spent several years contributing heavily to undergraduate statistics teaching, and hopes Statistics for Psychology can offer a helping hand to researchers worldwide. .
