A textbook primarily for students of psychology, educations, and related fields whose only mathematical background is common arithmetic, an elementary understanding of simple equations, and the ability to plug numbers into an equation and boil them down to a single numerical answer. Emphasizes the development of concepts, but also explains procedures step-by-step with examples from the behavioral sciences. Considerably revised from the 1993 edition to lower the math requirements a half-step and focus more on fundamentals. It is also shorter, though still contains more material than most instructors would try to fit into a single semester. Annotation c. by Book News, Inc., Portland, Or.Book Details
