Psych Student

So lets face it. Majority of studenta in the behavioral sciences hate or suck at math. I myself can definitely relate to this. However, after taking my PSY 307 class and using this book I find myself actually liking statistics. (Not really math in my opinion but..) this book is well laid out and is 100% user friendly. Clear and straight to the point with chapters being short and sweet.

Dont fear the numbers!

Difficult

Incredibly difficult to understand. This book is written for someone who already has a background in statistics. Not for a newbie. I actually had to buy Psychology Statistics for Dummies because I can’t understand this text. At least that book makes sense. This one makes no sense.

Not well presented for digital use but lots of good information.

Helped my step son with ANOVA, he bought the book.

CONS: As the other reviewer (who gave 3 stars) noted, the book is hard to navigate. It is literally a digitized book without the ability to jump to the suggested places (tables) nor the ability to return where you came from; it is hunt and search - to where you are going and to where you want to return. There are misprints "degress" for "degrees." A numerator of 5 instead of 15. This book has been given cursory editing.

The page at hand does not seamlessly scroll to the next page; each page is displayed separately. For instance, formulas are often incomplete on the bottom of one page and then to the following page with the rest of the formula. An important formula should be on one page for easier understanding.

Page layout is horrific: there are, usually, two columns per page, so when scrolling down, you go to the next page not the next column! And, there are more complications here: when you scroll up to continue reading the next column you will invariably go to the previous page. The top of a page is not demarcated in any way so you know when to stop.

PROS: you can make pretty lines and highlights on text, pictures and formulae. Also, good information
