Features: This book aims to integrate basic experimental design and statistical knowledge, allowing readers to deepen their understanding of experimental design while learning statistical concepts. The book is divided into two parts: The first part consists of the first six chapters, introducing descriptive statistics, covering topics such as data frequency distribution, measures of central tendency, measures of dispersion, and data correlation. The second part consists of the last ten chapters, introducing inferential statistics, covering topics such as significance testing of means, regression analysis, binomial experimental design and result testing, chi-square tests, analysis of variance, and non-parametric tests. During the writing process, the book strives to be comprehensive, providing learners with all the procedures needed to handle experimental data. Both the pre-test items before statistical testing and the further analysis after testing are introduced as much as possible. This book is specifically written as a textbook for self-studying psychology students and can also serve as a teaching material for psychology statistics courses in general undergraduate, junior college, and secondary vocational schools. Additionally, it is suitable for use as a statistics textbook or reference book for teachers in fields such as social sciences and medicine.
