Houghton Mifflin College Div.

In this text, research methods are taught by focusing on 1) placing the student in the role of researcher and 2) the decision and conclusions.

Revised and closely integrated with the text, this resource includes (in each chapter) a review of objectives, terms, and formulas; a programmed review; conceptual and computational problems (with answers); and a set of multiple-choice questions similar to those in the Instructor's Resource Manual. A final chapter called "Getting Ready for the Final Exam" facilitates student integration of the entire course. The workbook can be ordered separately or shrink-wrapped with the textbook to form a package.

Student Workbook with Study Guide for Heiman’s Basic Statistics for the Behavioral Sciences, 6th

Wadsworth Publishing

BASIC STATISTICS FOR THE BEHAVIORAL SCIENCES demystifies and fully explains statistics without leaving out relevant topics or simply presenting formulas, in a format that is non-threatening and inviting to students. The author's clear, patiently crafted explanations, with an occasional touch of humor, teach students not only how to compute an answer, but also why they should perform the procedure or what their answer reveals about the data. The book achieves several objectives: it presents a conceptual-intuitive approach, presents statistics within an understandable research context, deals directly and positively with student weaknesses in mathematics, and introduces new terms and concepts in an integrated way. The result is a text that students can learn from as well as enjoy.

Each statistical procedure in this text is presented in a conceptual, intuitive manner to illustrate how it fills a need in the process. Students anxious about math will benefit from a scaled back emphasis on the discipline, plain language, and a step-by-step approach that reintroduces, reviews, and reinforces procedures. In addition, references to psychology have been reduced to make the text more inclusive of all behavioral sciences.
The text has been revised to streamline the narrative without reducing content, make presentations more concise, and add more explanatory techniques. Nearly all examples include specific variables and questions rather than generic data, and most are taken from everyday life so that students gain an intuitive feel for the meaning of scores and develop an ability to think in statistical terms.

<li>Summary tables and charts help students organize and remember related topics.</li>
<li>An opening section in each chapter, Why Is It Important to Know About...?, introduces the major topic, immediately placing it in a research context.</li>
<li>Key terms are bold within the text, reviewed in the chapter summary, and listed in a new section at the end of the text.</li>
<li>Reference tables provide guidelines for selecting from the descriptive and inferential procedures discussed in the text based on the type of data or research design employed.</li>

Basic Statistics for the Behavioral Sciences demystifies and fully explains statistics without leaving out relevant topics or simply presenting formulas, in a format that is non-threatening and inviting to students. Gary Heiman has written a textbook—clearly, patiently, and with an occasional touch of humor—that teaches students not only how to compute an answer on demand, but also why they should perform the procedure or what their answer reveals about the data. Heiman has achieved five objectives in writing this text: to take a conceptual-intuitive approach, to present statistics within an understandable research context, to deal directly and positively with student weaknesses in mathematics, to introduce new terms and concepts in an integrated way, and to create a text that students will enjoy as well as learn from!Appendix B explains the basics of how to use SPSS to analyze data. Tips on using SPSS are integrated throughout the text and now have a specific index to guide students.A Quick Review features contain a simple review of previous concepts, additional examples, and study questions.A section on Statistics in Published Research helps students gain a perspective on how researchers use statistics and relates what students have learned in the chapter to what they will see (and won't see) when reading published research. (Includes using the APA format for stats.)Additional pedagogical features include a Getting Started section at the beginning of each chapter, Statistical Notation sections, Remember callout sections, computation formulas, Putting It All Together sections, chapter summaries, and summaries of formulas.
