Editorial Reviews

Review

A major strength of the text is the author�s casual and first-person style of writing. The examples are simple, fun, and excellent representations of the concepts. I love the cartoons. They are so comical and could serve as nice memory aids for some of the concepts because they provide a visual for ideas that really don�t have a representative icon the way other concepts in psychology do. Joy Drinnon, Milligan College

Martin is uniquely and invitingly different. William Hardy, Sierra College

This is a very neat little book. It�s as close to a page-turner as one can find in this area-it�s clearly written by an experimenter who speaks from experience. I was very happy to have reviewed it and I would recommend it to anyone interested in solid, comprehensive psychological research. Daniel Cerutti, Duke University

5.0 out of 5 stars I expected it to be dry, dull, and difficult to read. It completely failed to meet my expectations.
Reviewed in the United States on January 27, 2017

After taking Statistics 1 and 2, I was assigned to read this for a research class. I expected it to dry, dull, and difficult to read. It completely failed to meet my expectations. It was, instead, a charming book, full of important information presented in a humorous and enjoyable way. I certainly did not expect to find myself laughing out loud while doing my assigned reading! I actually read more each week than was assigned, and feel as if I have truly learned much. I wish I had read this prior to taking any courses in statistics; statistics would have made so much more sense if I'd learned what is given in this book.

Update: it's now 5 years later and the joy this book brought me hasn't left my mind. I often have regretted renting it rather than purchasing - but who would choose a purchase over a rental for a book they're not likely to use in their career? Well now as I embark on my graduate studies I thought I would treat myself and add this to my bookshelf. No more regretting having sent it back. I am a proud owner of this charming book and am weirdly just scanning it before bed in the evenings to bring a smile to my face. This might be the nerdiest fact about me now. And I was already a pretty big nerd. But there you go. I adore this statistics textbook and now read it for pleasure. If you happen to be reading this review, please buy this book. It's a decision you're sure not to regret.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great read for learning about experiments
Reviewed in the United States on February 9, 2010
Verified Purchase
This book was originally purchased for an Experimental Psychology class. This book was also like a bible for me. The author uses a form of writing that makes an already difficult subject easier to understand with the drawings and diagrams that reiterate in a visual manner what is being said in a written manner. This author does something not many college textbook authors do: he writes so students understand the concepts and terms. Many textbook authors believe students don't need easy material in a book most especially if they are college students, but we are in fact still students and need to learn the material to understand and not to sound smart. This author does this and so much more; I would recommend this to anyone wanting to know about any type of experiment and the basics of them.

5.0 out of 5 stars Easy and enjoyable
Reviewed in the United States on August 26, 2015

I had to get this book for a class. I really love the author's writing style. He keeps it simple, clear, and injects a brand of humor that I totally get. You know, that kind of dorky sense of humor that's not uncommon in the field? It's great. I'm going to keep the book as a reference, I'd rather refer to it in the future than some dry information if possible. Some of the information may seem dated, but I think he's done a good job of including updated information in the latest edition. Gave me an appreciation for how journal articles/references had to be looked up in the pre-online database days.

I was pleasantly surprised by how pleasant and upbeat of a book this was for being a research methods book. It is clever and witty without overdoing it and makes the process of reading it not so much of a chore. I didn't expect to enjoy it but I actually did. The information contained within was accurate, wise, and did not steer me wrong.

I originally purchased this book to use for an Experimental Design Class. As a psychology major I quickly found that this book was going to be an absolute keeper because it helps so easily with doing the experiment and explaining how to write the APA paper. Since most style writing guides are geared toward MLA and I didn't feel like going through the search of one for APA I just kept this book and it hasn't failed me yet.
