Statistics for the Behavioral and Social Sciences offers a practical approach that demystifies statistics. The text will help you understand the fundamental concepts of statistics by emphasizing definitional formulas rather than rote memorization. Explaining everything in direct, simple language, authors Arthur Aron, Elliot Coups and Elaine Aron encourage you to work problems in a way that focuses on the underlying logic.

The 6th Edition offers simplified the exposition and updated content to foster interest and facilitate learning. Contemporary topics include effect size and power, the critical role of models, accumulation of results through meta-analysis, and new orientations arising from the central role of the computer in statistical analyses.
