Revised and closely integrated with the text, this resource includes (in each chapter) a review of objectives, terms, and formulas; a programmed review; conceptual and computational problems (with answers); and a set of multiple-choice questions similar to those in the Instructor's Resource Manual. A final chapter called "Getting Ready for the Final Exam" facilitates student integration of the entire course. The workbook can be ordered separately or shrink-wrapped with the textbook to form a package.

Each statistical procedure in this text is presented in a conceptual, intuitive manner to illustrate how it fills a need in the process. Students anxious about math will benefit from a scaled back emphasis on the discipline, plain language, and a step-by-step approach that reintroduces, reviews, and reinforces procedures. In addition, references to psychology have been reduced to make the text more inclusive of all behavioral sciences.
The text has been revised to streamline the narrative without reducing content, make presentations more concise, and add more explanatory techniques. Nearly all examples include specific variables and questions rather than generic data, and most are taken from everyday life so that students gain an intuitive feel for the meaning of scores and develop an ability to think in statistical terms.

<li>Summary tables and charts help students organize and remember related topics.</li>
<li>An opening section in each chapter, Why Is It Important to Know About...?, introduces the major topic, immediately placing it in a research context.</li>
<li>Key terms are bold within the text, reviewed in the chapter summary, and listed in a new section at the end of the text.</li>
<li>Reference tables provide guidelines for selecting from the descriptive and inferential procedures discussed in the text based on the type of data or research design employed.</li>

Research Methods focuses on decisions and conclusions, rather than rules and procedures, to help students develop the critical-thinking skills necessary for understanding and designing research. The text emphasizes the need to evaluate a design's strengths and weaknesses when selecting a method and interpreting results.The Second Edition includes a full chapter on ethics and places the statistics review after the introduction of basic design issues to focus on statistics as a set of tools for analyzing research results. A unique capstone chapter, Designing and Evaluating Research, walks students through four research studies, summarizes content, and suggests additional topics for research.

BASIC STATISTICS FOR THE BEHAVIORAL SCIENCES demystifies and fully explains statistics without leaving out relevant topics or simply presenting formulas, in a format that is non-threatening and inviting to students. The author's clear, patiently crafted explanations, with an occasional touch of humor, teach students not only how to compute an answer, but also why they should perform the procedure or what their answer reveals about the data. The book achieves several objectives: it presents a conceptual-intuitive approach, presents statistics within an understandable research context, deals directly and positively with student weaknesses in mathematics, and introduces new terms and concepts in an integrated way. The result is a text that students can learn from as well as enjoy.

Using the same conceptual approach as in other Heiman texts, Essential Statistics: For the Behavioral Sciences presents the statistical procedures needed for reading research literature and conducting studies, while eliminating extensive reference material and advanced statistical methods. Examples throughout the text are drawn from everyday life, and virtually all involve specific variables and research questions instead of generic data. Key features help you follow a focused structure and emphasizes understanding of general concepts and procedures. Such features include "Remember" sections which recall calculations or interpretations of a statistic; and "Review Questions" which require definition of terms and outline procedures; ad "Application Questions" which ask you to perform procedures, interpret results, and critically analyze claims.
