This text is written for a one-semester introduction to statistical analysis course in sociology, criminal justice, social work, or psychology in which students will be exposed to the basic concepts and procedures in statistical analysis as it is applied in the social sciences. In Statistical Analysis in the Behavioral Sciences, Raymondo offers a text that provides clear and student-friendly explanations of statistical concepts, in which as much emphasis is placed on the purpose and interpretation of statistical analysis as on the traditional approach of how to perform statistical procedures. Through his clear and conversational writing style, by going beyond a surface interpretation, and by using "real-life" data, Raymondo sparks students' interest and understanding.

FUNDAMENTAL STATISTICS FOR THE BEHAVIORAL SCIENCES focuses on providing the context of statistics in behavioral research, while emphasizing the importance of looking at data before jumping into a test. This practical approach provides students with an understanding of the logic behind the statistics, so they understand why and how certain methods are used -- rather than simply carry out techniques by rote. Students move beyond number crunching to discover the meaning of statistical results and appreciate how the statistical test to be employed relates to the research questions posed by an experiment. Written in an informal style, the text provides an abundance of real data and research studies that provide a real-life perspective and help students learn and understand concepts. In alignment with current trends in statistics in the behavioral sciences, the text emphasizes effect sizes and meta-analysis, and integrates frequent demonstrations of computer analyses through SPSS and R.

Unlike other forms of adaptive testing, multistage testing (MST) is highly suitable for testing educational achievement because it can be adapted to educational surveys and student testing. This volume provides the first unified source of information on the design, psychometrics, implementation, and operational use of MST. It shows how to apply theoretical statistical tools to testing in novel and useful ways. It also explains how to explicitly tie the assumptions made by each model to observable (or at least inferable) data conditions.
