Last edition Elsevier The fifth edition of Statistics for the Behavioral and Social Sciences builds off an already well-established approach — emphasizing the intuitive, deemphasizing the mathematical, and explaining everything in direct, simple language — but also goes beyond these principles to further student understanding. By using definitional formulas to emphasize the concepts of statistics, rather than rote memorization, students work problems in a way that keeps them constantly aware of the underlying logic of what they are doing.
