Statistics for Psychology, 7th Edition, is an introductory textbook by Arthur Aron, Elliot J. Coups, Elaine N. Aron, and Erin Cooley that guides college students through quantitative data analysis in psychology. The book addresses the need for clear conceptual instruction in undergraduate psychology statistics courses.

Core coverage moves from tables and graphs to central tendency, variability, Z scores, and normal curve distribution concepts. The material then builds into inferential procedures, including hypothesis testing steps, decision errors, effect size, and power. Specialized topics include t tests for single samples, dependent means, and independent means, alongside one-way and factorial Analysis of Variance, correlation, prediction, chi-square tests, and the General Linear Model.

A defining aspect of the textbook is its emphasis on the underlying logic of statistical techniques to discourage rote memorization. By pairing definitional formulas in words with computational formulas in symbols, the authors support both introductory learners and psychology professionals seeking a reference for statistical methods.
