Statistics for the Behavioral Sciences, 9th Edition

I purchased this book for a self-paced online statistics course at the University of North Dakota. The item arrived on time in good condition.The content is easy to follow and clearly written.

This international edition is SIGNIFICANTLY cheaper than the vastly overpriced US version. Best I can tell, the content is exactly the same, except for three minor differences between the two versions:1) the international is black and white instead of color;2) the international edition is offered in paperback only; and3) most importantly, the ordering of the end-of-chapter questions are different, so if your professors requires you to complete these from the book, this could be difficult for you.Let's face it, you're probably not buying this unless your class requires you to. I want to reassure the worried that, thus far, I have found that this book offers a very gentle and accessible introduction to statistics. So, depending on your background, you'll be happy your professor selected this instead of a more dense and technical textbook. If you're already familiar with statistics, though, you will find this book to be too simplistic.

Not here to necessarily convince y'all, but here to share my personal experience:When I ordered the book I expected nothing special. It arrived promptly and well packaged which should be a given. The book appeared new with it's glossy cover, sharp edges, no wrinkled pages or any visible damage; aside from the sticker on its spine reminding me that it in fact "Used". As a student at University, I ordered the textbook in a major time crunch and it definitely came through. I also had a friend who spent more than I did getting a loose leaf version. I would joke around with her, rubbing in the fact that my book is better in all regards. Highly recommend this source y'all. :D Don't mean to sound dry and boring, just stating everything as it is.

Well written for students without a strong math background, as I expect many Social Science students do not. I only rented it because I already have multiple statistics books. I think the formatting works great on any Kindle fire, through I recommend at least an 8 inch screen. Not formatted for Kindle e-readers.I liked it well enough I considered paying the extra to purchase it but waited until the rental lapsed. Be aware, if you rent it and then decide to purchase or extend the rental, you need to do it before the rental lapses or you lose all credit for what you previously paid.

This book is so easy to understand and the authors are very thorough at explaining the concepts. The way the book is written is as if they are talking directly to you. They always clarify every concept and reword them and restate them and work out step-by-step examples. At the end of each chapter they have a section explaining where the students usually make mistakes and they make sure that you won't do the same. I just got my first test results at school covering ch1-7 and I got 96%!! I've got to say its 80% thanks to the book and 20% thanks to the class lectures.For those who are worried and nervouse about taking Stats class, really there is no need to worry AT ALL if you read the chapters and do the problems at the end of each chapter. I was very worried at the beginning of the semester, but no more!

The book arrived quickly with no problem. However, when I received it, the binding was pretty damaged, almost to the point that the front cover would come off if I used it too frequently. It helped me a lot and it was an easy read.A word from the wise: this is the most boring subject! Please get a teacher who knows what they are doing and how to entertain you in class. I would have flunked if my teacher wasnt as entertaining. He made it fun to be in class. If that wasnt the case, I wouldn't have passed and wouldnt have bothered to come to class (I'm not one to ditch classes, but I would have made an exception for this class).

I love this book! The material is presented in a very clear and skillful way, with both depth and a lot of varied kinds of explanation, so that i feel i'm getting a strong and clear foundation at each level before moving on to new concepts. I've pretty much been a humanities person all the way, so i was very surprised by how interesting i find the material. I recommend this book very highly for anybody with very little math background who still wants to feel they're really doing and understanding--and even getting excited by--introductory statistics!

I have generally struggled with math classes, especially statistics, but this book was fairly easy to read.The reason I rated two stars? There are some horrible typos and editing errors that completely change the formulas and make some of the problems unsolvable. The worst were in Chapter 14. I'll list them below for anyone else that has to use this book:On page 497, in the formulas given for the A x B interaction for SS, the formula given is incorrect. The correct formula is on page 481.The formula given on page 497 is: SSaxb = SSbetween treatments - SSa x SSbThe formula given on page 481 is: SSaxb = SSbetween treatments - SSa - SSbFor the problems of Chapter 14, Problem 10 on page 500 is completely unsolvable. Both N and G are wrong (Should be 30 and 210 instead of 40 and 120, respectively) but BESIDES that there must be some other error since after correcting those the problem was still unsolvable.All of those errors were confirmed by my instructor.

Very Good condition.

Très bonne condition !!

A good book for beginners.

It's an easy to understand stats text that covers both t tests and ANOVAs. I bought it instead of the newer edition for my Psyc 301 class. I would recommend it.

Looks like little bit old
