Eric Corty’s engaging textbook is exceptionally well suited for behavioral science students studying statistical practice in their field for the first time. An award-winning master teacher, Corty speaks to students in their language, with an approachable voice that conveys the basics of collecting and understanding statistical data step by step. Examples come from the behavioral and social sciences, as well as from recognizable aspects of everyday life to help students see the relevance of what they are studying.

Features

An explanation-driven approach
With Eric Corty’s carefully scaffolded presentations and familiar writing tone, statistics is less intimidating and more intuitive for behavioral science students, making easier for them to settle in to the course and make progress.

Multiple opportunities for practice
Chapters feature numerous worked examples, as well as practice problems, a application demonstration, and abundant end-of-chapter exercises (Review Your Knowledge; Apply Your Knowledge; Challenge Your Knowledge).

More emphasis on interpretation
The hypothesis testing chapters have separate sections for interpretation that answer the same three questions for each hypothesis test. In addition, Corty’s text takes data interpretation to its logical conclusion by showing students how to write up each analysis in the APA-style.

Quick Reference Card
This perforated card with essential concepts and formulas chapter by chapter can be torn out of the book for convenient referencing or on-the-go studying.

New to This Edition

DIY (in LaunchPad)
Created by Eric Corty and included in each chapter, this new feature lets students test their understanding of important concepts by conducting their own experiments and interpreting the results.


Expanded! LaunchPad
Built around the most common issues teachers face, LaunchPad for Using and Interpreting Statistics, Third Edition provides students with everything they need to prepare for class and exams. For instructors, LaunchPad offers everything needed to quickly set up a course (using pre-built units), customize the content to their syllabus, craft presentations and lectures, assign and assess readings and activities, and guide the progress of individual students and the class as a whole.

In LaunchPad

  • An interactive e-book with book-specific interactive media brings together all student learning resources in one location.
  • LearningCurve adaptive quizzing offers individualized question sets and feedback (linked to the e-book) based on each student’s correct and incorrect responses.
  • The Statistical Video Series (StatClips, StatClips Examples, and Statistically Speaking "Snapshots") illustrates key statistical concepts and helps students visualize statistics in real-world scenarios.
  • StatsClips video tutorials combine interesting scenarios, dynamic animation, and creator Dr. Alan Dabney’s clear and thoughtful explanation of key statistical concepts
  • Statistical tools, including StatTutor tutorials, Applets, CrunchIt statistical software, and all data sets for the book
  • An easy-to-use Gradebook provides a clear window on performance for the whole class, for individual students, and for individual assignments
  • The streamlined interface helps students manage their schedule of assignments. 24/7 help is accessible from a link in the upper right hand corner.
  • Optional pre-built units, curated by the book’s authors or other experienced educators, offer a readymade set of assignments for each chapter or module. Assign some or all of the units, customize units to suit your course, or choose not to use them and build a course from scratch.
  • The Resources link gives instructors quick access to book-specific teaching support materials (PowerPoint sets, textbook graphics, lecture and activity suggestions, solutions manuals, test banks, and more)
  • Easy LMS integration into any school’s learning management system means your gradebook and roster are always in sync. LaunchPad also works independently outside of LMS systems.


Revised Examples and Exercises
The author has continued to refine the examples to provide students with a clear and complete picture of how statistical practice works in the behavioral sciences today. Chapters feature a wealth of new exercises reflecting the updated examples and content.


New Part Structure Pedagogy
The author has added a new part structure to the table of contents to clearly present the divisions between major concepts in the text. Each of the four parts includes an introduction and concludes with a comprehensive Part Test, which presents students with a set of challenging problems that ask them to bring together what they’ve learned from the preceding chapters.

The quality of his teaching was recognized in 1997 when he received the Council of Fellows Excellence in Teaching Award and in 2001 when he became a Penn State Teaching Fellow.
Corty has more than three dozen peer-reviewed publications. His research on
ejaculatory latencies received worldwide attention, including being made fun of on
the David Letterman show. His statistics textbook was recognized as a Book of the Year by the American Journal of Nursing in 1997. Corty serves as a member of the editorial board for The Journal of Sex & Marital Therapy and previously was on the editorial board for The Journal of Consulting and Clinical Psychology.
Corty was born in Wilmington, Delaware, and still celebrates Delaware Day every

cats. He likes to eat and to cook, loves to ride his bicycles, and is working on improving his pool game.
