(More customer reviews)If nothing else, this book recognizes that those who are in the social sciences may have had difficult experiences with statistics in the past that focused purely on the formulas. This book can't make stats 'easy', but it does its best to make it understandable - breaking down the reasoning behind each formulaic move so that you can truly understand the meaning behind the numbers. If you have an option of taking a stats class with this book as opposed to a straight stats for beginners, I'd recommend this one any day.

For one-quarter/semester courses that focus on the basics in statistics or combine statistics with research methods. Thefifth edition of Statistics for the Behavioral and Social Sciences builds off an already well-establishedapproach - emphasizing the intuitive, deemphasizing the mathematical, and explaining everything in direct, simple language - but also goes beyond these principles to further student understanding. By usingdefinitional formulas to emphasize the concepts ofstatistics, rather than rote memorization, students work problems in a way that keeps them constantly aware of the underlying logic ofwhat they are doing.
