Introduction to Statistics in Psychology, 6th edition is a comprehensive, modern student guide to understanding and using statistics in psychological research. This edition has been significantly revised to incorporate the essential SPSS steps required for carrying out statistical analysis.

1. Why statistics?

Part 1: Descriptive statistics

2. Some basics: Variability and measurement

3. Describing variables: Tables and diagrams

4. Describing variables numerically: Averages, variation and spread

5. Shapes of Distributions of Scores

6. Standard deviation and z-scores: The standard unit of measurement in statistics

7. Relationships between two or more variables: Diagrams and tables

8. Correlation coefficients: Pearson correlation and Spearman's rho

9. Regression: Prediction with precision

Part 2: Significance testing

10. Samples and populations: Generalising and inferring

11. Statistical significance for the correlation coefficient: A practical introduction to statistical inference

12. Standard error: The standard deviation of the means of samples

13. The t-test: Comparing two samples of correlated/related scores

14. The t-test: Comparing two samples of unrelated/uncorrelated scores

15. Chi-square: Differences between samples of frequency data

16. Probability

17. Reporting significance levels succinctly

18. One-tailed versus two-tailed significance testing

19. Ranking tests: Nonparametric statistics

Part 3: Introduction to analysis of variance

20. The variance ratio test: The F-ratio to compare two variances

21. Analysis of variance (ANOVA): Introduction to the one-way unrelated or uncorrelated ANOVA

22. Analysis of variance for correlated scores or repeated measures

23. Two-way analysis of variance for unrelated/uncorrelated scores: Two studies for the price of one?

24. Multiple comparisons in ANOVA: Just where do the differences lie?

25. Mixed-design ANOVA: Related and unrelated variables together

26. Analysis of covariance (ANCOVA): Controlling for additional variables

27. Multivariate Analysis of Variance (MANOVA)

28. Discriminant (Function) analysis especially in MANOVA

29. Statistics and the analysis of experiments

Part 4: More advanced correlational statistics

30. Partial correlation: Spurious correlation, third or confounding variables, suppressor variables

31. Factor analysis: Simplifying complex data

32. Multiple regression and multiple correlation

33. Path analysis

34. The analysis of a questionnaire/survey project

Part 5: Assorted advanced techniques

35. The size of effects in statistical analysis: Do my findings matter?

36. Meta-analysis: Combining and exploring statistical findings from previous research

37. Reliability in scales and measurement: Consistency and agreement

38. Confidence intervals

39. The influence of moderator variables on relationships between two variables

40. Statistical power analysis: getting the sample size right

Part 6: Advanced qualitative or nominal techniques

41. Log-Linear Methods: The analysis of complex contingency tables

42. Multinomial logistic regression: Distinguishing between several different categories or groups

43. Binomial Logistic Regression
