Fundamental Statistics for the Behavioral Sciences, 7th Edition

The authors' clarity of writing, clear definition of terms, and use of worked out examples helps the student understand some of the more difficult concepts in statistics.
The text is full of applications: Real data is used in ALL examples. This puts a real life perspective on the materials for the students and allows for much greater understanding. The applications are listed on the inside front covers.
Computer output from SPSS is included so that students can cross check their own work for accuracy.
Formulas used in the book are definitional rather than for purposes of calculation, as Howell believes formulas are there to help students define the concepts.
Hundreds of exercises, most of which are based on data from published research, promote student interest and provide the context of statistics in behavioral research. David Howell's practical approach focuses on the context of statistics in behavioral research, with an emphasis on looking before leaping; investigating the data before jumping into a test. This provides you with an understanding of the logic behind the statistics: why and how certain methods are used rather than just doing techniques by rote.
