✦ Synopsis

The third edition of the Student Study Guide With IBM® SPSS® Workbook for Research Methods, Statistics, and Applications by Kathrynn A. Adams and Eva K. McGuire gives students even more opportunities to practice and apply their knowledge in statistics and research methods. Written by the authors of Research Methods, Statistics, and Applications, the third edition of the study guide follows the third edition of the textbook for straightforward assigning and practice. New features include practice quizzes to give students both recognition and recall activities for better retention.  Learning objectives and brief chapter summaries from the main text remind students of what they′ve learned and orient students toward the exercises. In-depth exercises encourage students to build on their knowledge, requiring students to think critically and actively engage with the material. These exercises have been condensed and focus on moving students through the learning objectives at a quick pace. At the end of most chapters, "Your Research" sections encourage students to apply concepts to their own projects.  Now placed at the end of book, the IBM^® SPSS^®  workbook provides instructions for performing statistical calculations. Included in this workbook are additional exercises to practice data analysis and interpretation using the software. Answers to quizzes are listed immediately after each quiz in the book while answers to exercises are listed on the instructor resources website.
