Statistical Reasoning in the Behavioral Sciences

by Bruce M. King, Edward W. Minium

Substantially revised and updated, the new Fifth Edition reflects the changes that have occurred in the field of psychological statistics over the past decade. This revision focuses on conceptual growth. It helps readers develop an understanding of statistical logic and procedures, the properties of statistical devices, the importance of the assumptions underlying statistical tools, and what happens when the strict requirements of statistical theory meet the circumstances of real-world data.

A must read

[CM]

A shorter, introductory text with depth and rigor (but never intimidating). It should be on the reading list of all intro analysis course for social science. Practice questions are somehow fewer in this text (like 15 a chapter) but it covers a range of variety (and difficulty) seldom seen in this kind of textbooks.

[Ricardo]

Easy to ready. Basic statistics without complication, focused on application.
