Along with my co-author Sara Hall, I write to introduce our new statistics textbook – Straightforward Statistics – published by Oxford University Press. This book project has been a long time in the making – and is based on the version of undergraduate statistics I’ve taught (with reasonable success) since 1996. Don’t hesitate to let me know if you’ve got any questions about this book (geherg@newpaltz.edu).
This book can serve as the primary text for undergraduate stats courses in psychology – along with other disciplines in the social, behavioral, or life sciences.
Here is the publisher’s description:
Straightforward Statistics: Understanding the Tools of Research is a clear and direct introduction to statistics for the social, behavioral, and life sciences. Based on the author’s extensive experience teaching undergraduate statistics, this book provides a narrative presentation of the core principles that provide the foundation for modern-day statistics. With step-by-step guidance on the nuts and bolts of computing these statistics, the book includes detailed tutorials how to use state-of-the-art software, SPSS, to compute the basic statistics employed in modern academic and applied research. Across 13 succinct chapters, this text presents statistics using a conceptual approach along with information on the relevance of the different tools in different contexts and summaries of current research examples.
