“Simon says: adopt this well-written, informative, and erudite textbook by Simon Moon for your introductory behavioral sciences statistics course. In a concise fashion, Dr. Moon presents the essentials of applying statistics to answer research questions in the social sciences. There are plenty of SPSS-based examples to serve as guides for future exploration of the use of statistical packages. I would recommend the book as a primary resource, although it could also serve as a supplemental text.”
