Doing Statistics! Helpful Resources

On this page you can find links to useful resources and advice for doing statistical analysis of data.

Psychology involves collecting and analysing all kinds of data. Much of mainstream psychology research examines quantitative (numbers!) data analysis. This can be challenging and off putting for some students (and teachers!) but it doesn’t need to be. A lot of useful skills for good statistical thinking can be learnt without complicated mathematics.
