New to This Edition
A new Data Ethics section in Chapter 1 and a new Data Ethics feature in every chapter addresses the issues surrounding outdated research practices and introduces students to the set of principles related to all stages of working with data – research design, data collection, statistical analyses, interpretation of analyses, and reporting of outcomes.
A brand new Chapter 18, Choosing and Reporting Statistics includes a discussion of helpful resources, an overview of what should be included in APA-style Methods and Results sections, and an exploration of ethical practices.
Chapter 3, Visual Displays of Data, now includes a new section on innovative ways to display variability, particularly in terms of visualizing the full variability of a data set. This includes a new graph that demonstrates why bar graphs may obscure the underlying story of the data and a new graph depicting a violin plot.
An expanded discussion of the increasing use of and drawbacks of crowdsourced data in Chapter 5 on Sampling and Probability.
Chapter 12,One-Way Between-Groups ANOVA, now includes new material introducing omega squared and its calculation as a less biased estimate of effect size for ANOVA.

Authors

Susan A. Nolan
Susan A. Nolan is Professor of Psychology at Seton Hall University in New Jersey. Susan researches the interpersonal consequences of mental illness and the role of gender in science careers. Her research has been funded by the National Science Foundation. Susan is the 2021 President of the Society for the Teaching of Psychology and a past president of the Eastern Psychological Association (EPA). She is a Fellow of the EPA, the American Psychological Association (APA), and the Association for Psychological Science. She holds an A.B. from the College of the Holy Cross and a Ph.D. from Northwestern University. Susan is fascinated by the applications of psychology to the “real world,” both locally and globally. She served as a representative from the APA to the United Nations for five years, and was a U.S. Fulbright Scholar in Bosnia and Herzegovina, where she and her husband have a home. She loves to travel. Susan uses the examples she encounters through these experiences in the classroom, in this textbook, and in the statistics textbooks that she co-authors. They also provide ideas for the Psychology Today blog that she co-authors on psychology research related to misinformation.
