New features in this Sixth Edition include:
- Different aspects of a common data set are used to illustrate the various statistical methods throughout the text, with an emphasis on drawing connections between seemingly disparate statistical procedures and formulas
- Computer exercises based on the same large data set and relevant to that chapter's content. The data set can be analyzed by any available statistical software
- New "Bridge to SPSS" sections at the end of each chapter explain, for those using this very popular statistical package, how to perform that chapter's statistical procedures by computer, and how to translate the output from SPSS
- New chapters on multiple comparisons and repeated-measures ANOVA
Introductory Statistics for the Behavioral Sciences by Barry H. Cohen, Joan Welkowitz, R. Brooke Lea Review
I think this is the best book for an introduction to Statistics. It explained concepts behind each test and the reasons to choose one test over another, in ways that were easy to understand. I like knowing the proofs or calculating by hand. Perhaps because that's the way I was educated. I also have "Statistics for people who hate Statistics" and I think it is absolute rubbish but it may be helpful for others. As a grad student however, this book has been very helpful to me
