'In this brilliant new edition Andy Field has introduced important new introductory material on statistics that the student will need and was missing at least in the first edition. This book is the best blend that I know of a textbook in statistics and a manual on SPSS. It is a balanced composite of both topics, using SPSS to illustrate important statistical material and, through graphics, to make visible important approaches to data analysis. There are many places in the book where I had to laugh, and that's saying a lot for a book on statistics. His excellent style engages the reader and makes reading about statistics fun' - David C Howell, Professor Emeritus, University of Vermont USA
This award-winning text, now fully updated with SPSS Statistics, is the only book on statistics that you will need!
Fully revised and restructured, this new edition is even more accessible as it now takes students through from introductory to advanced level concepts, all the while grounding knowledge through the use of SPSS Statistics. Andy Field's humorous and self-deprecating style and the book's host of characters make the journey entertaining as well as educational.
While still providing a very comprehensive collection of statistical methods, tests and procedures, and packed with examples and self-assessment tests to reinforce knowledge, the new edition now also offers:
- a more gentle introduction to basic-level concepts and methods for beginners
- new textbook features to make the book more user-friendly for those learning about more advanced concepts, encouraging 'critical thinking'
- a brand new, full-colour design, making it easy for students to navigate between topics, and to understand how to use the latest version of SPSS Statistics
- both 'real world' (the bizarre and the wonderful) and invented examples illustrate the concepts and make the techniques come alive for students
- an additional chapter on multilevel modelling for advanced-level students
- reinforced binding to make the book easier to handle at a computer workstation.
The book also includes access to a brand new and improved companion Website, bursting with features including:
- animated 'SPSS walk-through' videos clearly demonstrating how to use the latest SPSS Statistics modules
- self-marking multiple choice questions
- data sets for psychology, business and management and health sciences
- a flash-card glossary for testing knowledge of key concepts
- access to support material from SAGE study skills books.
Statistics lecturers are also provided with a whole range of resour...

'The mathematics behind the tests is always given in considerable detail. This is admirable and helps students to see the logics behind the tests...I like the exploration of the various options for the tests he discusses, and the discussions of the pros and cons of specific variants of tests' - Nurse Researcher
