New content includes philosophical issues associated with psychometrics and inferential statistical testing, interpretation, measurement, and the replication crisis in the social sciences. End-of-chapter exercises and work problems have been strengthened and reorganized to further improve comprehension and performance. Section reviews that draw on concepts from all preceding chapters are included to help students develop skills of statistical tool selection and application. Support for instructors includes chapter-based learning objectives, test banks, and PowerPoints. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eEssentials of Behavioral and Social Science Statistics\u003c\/i\u003e includes information on: \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBasic concepts in research covering the scientific method, types of variables, controlling extraneous variables, validity issues, and causality and correlation\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDescriptive statistics including scales of measurement, measures of central tendency and variability, transformations, and standardized scores\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe fundamentals of inferential statistics, including probability theory, sampling distributions, the central limit theorem, and the terminology of hypothesis testing\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe logic and application of basic inferential tests including single-sample tests, independent-and dependent-samples \u003ci\u003et\u003c\/i\u003e tests, and the basics of power analysis\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe logic and application of three common ANOVA analyses; one-way, two-way, and repeated-measures\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe logic and application of basic bivariate data analysis tools, linear correlation and linear regression\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe logic and application of chi-square analyses, both goodness-of-fit and tests-for-independence\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e \u003cp\u003eWritten to facilitate concept mastery and enable practical application of concepts, \u003ci\u003eEssentials of Behavioral and Social Science Statistics \u003c\/i\u003eoffers a survey of basic descriptive and inferential statistical tools and concepts and is highly suitable to support a rigorous undergraduate behavioral science or social science statistics course.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e  \u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eDr. K.
