Making Sense of Data and Statistics in Psychology
by Brian Greer and Gerry Mulhern
This book confronts the pedagogic challenge of teaching statistics to students in psychology and related disciplines. Recognising the heterogeneous nature of students' mathematical backgrounds and motivations, the authors adopt an innovative approach while ensuring ready integration into orthodox undergraduate statistics courses at introductory and post-introductory levels. Before being introduced to formal statistics, students are encouraged to develop a 'feel' for data, particularly through visual representation. Making extensive use of exploratory data analysis (EDA), the text emphasises conceptual rather than technical or procedural understanding.

Book Details
First Sentence
"This textbook is intended to achieve something that many of its predecessors promised, but too often failed to deliver; that is, to present a clear, concise, non-technical explanation of statistical and methodological concepts in psychology at introductory level (Part 1), and similarly to explore key concepts at post-introductory level (Part 2)."
