Statistics is one of the most useful elements of any psychology degree. This popular textbook will equip you with the tools needed not only to make sense of your own data and research, but also to think critically about the research and statistics you will encounter in everyday life.

Features include:

- Logical, intuitive organization of key statistical concepts and tests with an emphasis on understanding which test to use and why
- Innovative graphic illustrations and insightful dialogues that help you to get to grips with statistics
- Concise, easy-to-follow guidelines for making sense of SPSS
- Coverage of more complex tests and concepts for when you need to dig deeper

Making Sense of Data and Statistics in Psychology will help you design experiments, analyse data with confidence and establish a solid grounding in statistics; it will become a valuable resource throughout your studies.
