Statistics for People Who (Think They) Hate Statistics

Beschreibung

The bestselling Statistics for People Who (Think They) Hate Statistics teaches an often intimidating and difficult subject in a way that is informative, personable, and clear. The authors take students through various statistical procedures, beginning with correlation and graphical representation of data and ending with inferential techniques and analysis of variance. In addition, the text provides instruction in SPSS, and includes reviews of more advanced techniques, such as reliability, validity, introductory non-parametric statistics, and more. The text includes a key feature called "The Path to Wisdom and Knowledge" a flowchart in each of the main chapters showing readers how to select the appropriate test statistic. The Eighth Edition has combined and streamlined chapters so that there are now 14 chapters rather than 19, the end-of-chapter questions have been thoroughly revised, dozens of new research examples have been added, a new section on artificial intelligence chatbots for statistical analyses is provided, the SPSS appendix has been updated for the newest version of the software, and the glossary has been extensively revised and improved for clarity. The text is now available in full color, and available in Sage′s award-winning Vantage learning platform.

Neil J. Salkind received his PhD in human development from the University of Maryland, and after teaching for 35 years at the University of Kansas, he was Professor Emeritus in the Department of Psychology and Research in Education, where he collaborated with colleagues and work with students.

His work then changed direction to focus on child and family policy, specifically the impact of alternative forms of public support on various child and family outcomes. He delivered more than 150 professional papers and presentations; written more than 100 trade and textbooks; and is the author of Statistics for People Who (Think They) Hate Statistics (SAGE), Theories of Human Development (SAGE), and Exploring Research (Prentice Hall). He has edited several encyclopedias, including the Encyclopedia of Human Development, the Encyclopedia of Measurement and Statistics, and the Encyclopedia of Research Design. He was editor of Child Development Abstracts and Bibliography for 13 years.
