Review

I think this is a really good starting point for teaching stats and ndash; from assuming students knows nothing about and taking them gradually to a more advanced understanding. The book is and ndash; very helpfully- full of interesting examples and engaging style of writing. I like it that the book has several and lsquo;levels of difficulty and rsquo; and engages both with practical stats and theory. The book I believe is targeted at UG students mainly, but some chapters can be recommended to MA students on research methods courses provided that they know nothing about statistics and ndash; the book is written in a very accessible manner which means that it can satisfy the need of international students in terms of level of difficulty and language (and business programmes normally have a lot of international students at MA level). The explanations are logically organized and explained in a lucid and clear manner. Little features like and lsquo;faces and rsquo; I believe would make the book more attractive to UG students. I think self-test questions and the tasks at the end of chapter are very helpful, as well as the real world data and (often humorous) examples. My course is MA so I am not adopting this book for a course as a main text, but I may recommend it to students who are completely unfamiliar with statistics.Maria Karepova

About the Author

Andy Field is Professor of Quantitative Methods at the University of Sussex. He has published widely (100+ research papers, 29 book chapters, and 17 books in various editions) in the areas of child anxiety and psychological methods and statistics. His current research interests focus on barriers to learning mathematics and statistics.

He is internationally known as a statistics educator. He has written several widely used statistics textbooks including Discovering Statistics Using IBM SPSS Statistics (winner of the 2007 British Psychological Society book award), Discovering Statistics Using R, and An Adventure in Statistics (shortlisted for the British Psychological Society book award, 2017; British Book Design and Production Awards, primary, secondary and tertiary education category, 2016; and the Association of Learned & Professional Society Publishers Award for innovation in publishing, 2016), which teaches statistics through a fictional narrative and uses graphic novel elements. He has also written the adventr and discovr packages for the statistics software R that teach statistics and R through interactive tutorials.

His uncontrollable enthusiasm for teaching statistics to psychologists has led to teaching awards from the University of Sussex (2001, 2015, 2016, 2018, 2019), the British Psychological Society (2006) and a prestigious UK National Teaching fellowship (2010).

He′s done the usual academic things: had grants, been on editorial boards, done lots of admin/service but he finds it tedious trying to remember this stuff. None of them matter anyway because in the unlikely event that you′ve ever heard of him it′ll be as the ′Stats book guy′. In his spare time, he plays the drums very noisily in a heavy metal band, and walks his cocker spaniel, both of which he finds therapeutic.

    Great introductory book for statistics learners, even for those with English as a non first language background. Kindle version is great also, providing a handy function that allows you to read the book in any devices (I use my laptop and iPhone). I also love the dictionary function which allow me to look up any unknown words in the book simply by highlighting it.

    This was first & only text book I've bought on kindle. Won't do kindle text books again - too awkward for me - I missed being able to write in the margins, bookmark pages etc. Just felt like hard work. Content amusing, but I'd have preferred clearer & more succinct explanations.

    Reviewed in Italy on 9 September 2015
    Verified Purchase
    Ottimo testo (nella versione cartacea) che non necessita di competenze matematiche particolari. Inglese facilmente comprensibile. Spiegazioni molto semplici con ottime tabelle, grafici e figure. Non consiglio invece la versione in e-book soprattutto per la scarsa leggibilità di tutte le figure, che peraltro mancano del colore che le rende, nella versione cartacea, particolarmente fruibili.

    5.0 out of 5 stars Absolut begeistert trotz anfänglicher Zweifel - Kindleversion
    Reviewed in Germany on 13 August 2014
    Verified Purchase
    Vorneweg: ich bin absolut begeistert - einfaches Lesen mit unterhaltsamen Beispielen und das bei DIESEM Stoff.

    Es ist in meinem Psychologiestudium sicher nicht das erste Statistikbuch, mit dem ich mich auseinandersetze, aber mit Sicherheit das, was mir am meisten Spaß macht. Kein Vergleich zu den anderen furchtbar trockenen hunderte von Seiten langen Büchern, die einen nur so mit Formeln bombadieren.

    Mit meiner Entscheidung, die Kindleversion zu kaufen bin ich absolut glücklich - kein Riesenklopper (900 Seiten) den ich neben meinen Laptop legen muss, sondern dank Kindle Cloud einfach ein weiterer Tab in meinem Browser. Ich lese das Buch also in meinem Browser (lesen.amazon.de), habe zudem noch die zugehörige (mit wertvollen Infos & Videos gefüllte) Website geöffnet und natürlich kann ich dann alles gleich nebenher in SPSS ausprobieren.

    Was Statistik angeht, gehöre ich (bisher?) zu denjenigen, die es eher verachten und als notwendiges Übel im Psychologiestudium betrachten. Eine Schande, dass ich erst jetzt wo ich meine Diplomarbeit schreibe auf diesen wunderbaren Professor gestoßen bin. Aber zum Wiederholen des Stoffes (den man ja gut und gerne vergisst oder auch nie so richtig gelernt hat) eignet sich dieses Buch wirklich hervorragend.

    Auch über den Umfang bin ich sehr sehr glücklich (siehe Inhaltsverzeichnis). Zu den sehr schwierigen Kapiteln bin ich bisher nicht vorgedrungen, aber Andy Field hat wirklich ein großes Talent, einem auch bei schwierigeren Themen die Verzweiflung zu nehmen.

    5.0 out of 5 stars Great for Masters courses!
    Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 1 November 2013
    Verified Purchase
    I bought Andy Field 'Discovering Statistics using SPSS' at the beginning of my Psychology masters (MSc Health Psychology) course. It has definitely been money well spent! As someone who is not completely confident with the quantitative/SPSS based aspects of Psychology this book has been incredibly useful.

    Also, given that statistics can be a bit of a dry subject at times - I've found the Andy Field book really engaging and feel that I'm actually understanding and learning, instead of just flicking through and looking for instructions to copy into SPSS! Would definitely recommend to postgraduates as well as undergraduates.
