Behavioral Sciences STAT 2nd Edition by Gary W. Heiman
Quick Navigation

Overview

Created through a "student-tested, faculty-approved" review process with students and faculty, STAT FOR THE BEHAVIORAL SCIENCES is an engaging and accessible solution to accommodate the diverse lifestyles of today's learners at a value-based price. Each chapter begins with a list of previously discussed concepts that students should review. Throughout each chapter, important points are emphasized by a "REMEMBER" summary reminder set off from the text. Summary tables and sections appear regularly and help organize and integrate the separate steps discussed in previous sections. Key terms are bold and in color. Graphs and diagrams are explained in captions and fully integrated into the discussion. Using What You Know sections at the end of each chapter ask students to apply their new knowledge to actual problems. A perforated review card is provided in the IE, which includes a chapter outline, learning outcomes, teaching tips, additional examples, key terms, and key formulas.

What's New

{{collapseContainerClosed['whats-new'] ? 'Show More' : 'Show Less'}}
  • The content of all chapters was reviewed by outside reviewers and revised for improved clarity and completeness. Examples were up-dated and many running glossary items were revised.
  • The art-work was completely revised to be more relevant and less disruptive to the flow of the text. Formulas and "Remember" statements are now highlighted and consistently labeled for easy reference.
  • A new chapter-opening element was created called Going Forward, which previews the core concepts students will encounter and need to learn in the chapter. This new feature paired with the existing Looking Back element will provide more continuity and cohesion between chapters.
  • Several in-chapter Quick Practice sections were added to each chapter which provide additional examples and a brief self-test to insure student understanding before proceeding to the next topic.
  • The end of chapter Study Problems were completely re-done, now with 25 multipart conceptual and computing problems per chapter, including some that require students to review and integrate material from past chapters. The answers to odd-numbered problems are still provided in Appendix C.
  • All discussion of SPSS was revised and updated, although the text is complete if instructors choose not to include SPSS in their course.
