Editor-in-Chief Sheldon Zedeck
Statistics is the field of knowledge concerned
with data collection, data analysis, and data
interpretation and presentation. Methodology
comprises the many and varied structured ways
in which research is conducted-answering
the fundamental question: How does the
researcher effectively gather information for
particular purposes? Both are core topics
underlying the discipline of psychology and the
other social, behavioral, and health sciences.
Moreover, a basic understanding of the
language of statistics and research methods is
required for any serious student, scientist, and
practitioner in these fields.
The APA Dictionary of Statistics and Research
Methods is a focused reference resource that
explores the lexicon of these two tightly
interrelated areas. It provides
◆◆ Over 4,000 entries offering clear and
authoritative definitions;
◆◆ Balanced coverage in such core areas
as research planning and design,
psychometrics, quantitative and qualitative
measurements, and data analysis;
◆◆ Hundreds of incisive cross-references
that deepen the user's understanding of
related topics;
◆◆ More than 100 illustrations of some
of the common and uncommon data
display methods;
◆◆ A Quick Guide to Use that explains stylistic
and formal features at a glance; and
◆◆ Appendixes listing common abbreviations
and statistical symbols
