This Eighth Edition continues to focus students on two key themes that are the cornerstones of this book's success: the importance of looking at the data before beginning a hypothesis test, and the importance of knowing the relationship between the statistical test in use and the theoretical questions being asked by the experiment. New and expanded topics--reflecting the evolving realm of statistical methods--include effect size, meta-analysis, and treatment of missing data.

STATISTICAL METHODS FOR PSYCHOLOGY surveys the statistical techniques commonly used in the behavioral and social sciences, particularly psychology and education. To help students gain a better understanding of the specific statistical hypothesis tests that are covered throughout the text, author David Howell emphasizes conceptual understanding. This Eighth Edition continues to focus students on two key themes that are the cornerstones of this book's success: the importance of looking at the data before beginning a hypothesis test, and the importance of knowing the relationship between the statistical test in use and the theoretical questions being asked by the experiment. New and expanded topics--reflecting the evolving realm of statistical methods--include effect size, meta-analysis, and treatment of missing data.
This text integrates two underlying themes. The first is the importance of looking at the data before formulating a hypothesis, and the second is the importance of the relationship between the statistical test to be employed and the theoretical questions being posed by the experiment.
Howell explains the material at an intuitive level to give students a sense of how tests work and how they interrelate. He illustrates concepts with real-life examples from published literature.
Each chapter begins with objectives, detailed content outlines, and a brief introduction.
Key terms appear in the margin of the text and in bold within the text narrative, making them easy to find.
