	Essentials of Statistics for the Behavioral Sciences by: Frederick J Gravetter publisher: Wadsworth Publishing, published: 2010-01-01 ASIN: 049581220X EAN: 9780495812203 sales rank: 6315 This brief version of Gravetter and Wallnau's proven bestseller offers the straightforward instruction, accuracy, built-in learning aids, and wealth of real-world examples that professors and students have come to appreciate. The authors take time to explain statistical procedures so that students can go beyond memorizing formulas and begin gaining a conceptual understanding of statistics. To ensure that even students with a weak background in mathematics can understand statistics, the authors skillfully integrate applications that reinforce concepts. The authors take care to show students how having an understanding of statistical procedures will help them comprehend published findings and will lead them to become savvy consumers of information. Known for its exceptional accuracy and examples, this text also has a complete supplements package to support instructors with class preparation and testing. About This Edition New Features Throughout the book, research examples have been updated, real-world examples have been added, and the end-of-chapter problems have been extensively revised. The book has been separated into five sections to emphasize the similarities among groups of statistical methods. Each section contains two to four chapters, and begins with an introduction and concludes with a review, including review exercises. Demonstration problems at the end of each chapter have been simplified to focus on the content of the chapter and minimize tedious computations. Additional Features The authors have maintained the conversational style that explains statistical concepts and procedures rather than simply presenting them. Real-world, in-text examples from across the social and behavioral sciences make the book very accessible for all students and demonstrate how behavioral statistics apply to everyday life. End-of-chapter Web Resources sections include references to Wadsworth's free Online Statistics Workshops, online tutorials, and, as appropriate, instructions for using SPSS to perform the statistical calculations that are introduced in the chapter. The text reflects the most current APA guidelines. A general introduction to SPSS is included in the Instructor's Manual and can be used as a student handout for classes that use SPSS as part of the statistics course.

	How to Prepare a Dissertation Proposal: Suggestions for Students in Education and the Social and Behavioral Sciences by: David R. Krathwohl publisher: Syracuse University Press, published: 2005-05-01 ASIN: 0815681410 EAN: 9780815681410 sales rank: 11237 "What are the core elements of a strong proposal?" "How can I accent the strengths of my study design?" "How can computer use facilitate my literature review?" "What is the best way to get my proposal reviewed and approved?" You will find the answers to these and other key issues in this unique "assembly manual" for crafting a complete and convincing dissertation proposal. Three extensively annotated proposals of former students provide examples of the guidance offered and illustrate common types of studies. Whether you study best by example, review, memorization, or problem solving, this book's format enables you to follow your own pace and style. This is no ordinary step-by-step guide. The authors begin by identifying and defining the basics of a dissertation proposal. With careful consideration, they explore proposal functions and parts, show how to build your study's chain of reasoning, and carefully review alternate study designs. Chapters are devoted to qualitative studies: (sectioned into case studies, philosophical, and historical investigations); quantitative studies: (sectioned into experimental, causal modeling, and meta-analysis studies); and mixed-method studies: (sectioned into: sample survey, evaluation, development, and demonstration and action projects).
	Statistics for The Behavioral and Social Sciences: A Brief Course (5th Edition) by: Arthur Aron publisher: Prentice Hall, published: 2010-07-10 ASIN: 0205797253 EAN: 9780205797257 sales rank: 23113 For one-quarter/semester courses that focus on the basics in statistics or combine statistics with research methods.   The fifth edition of Statistics for the Behavioral and Social Sciences builds off an already well-established approach - emphasizing the intuitive, deemphasizing the mathematical, and explaining everything in direct, simple language - but also goes beyond these principles to further student understanding. By using definitional formulas to emphasize the concepts of statistics, rather than rote memorization, students work problems in a way that keeps them constantly aware of the underlying logic of what they are doing.
