Course Overview
The course covers statistical methods most often used in psychology and the social sciences. The
course will cover five major topics: (1) a general introduction to studies in psychology and the
social sciences, (2) review of some of the material covered in introductory statistics, (3) analysis
of variance (ANOVA), (4) multiple regression/correlation analysis (MRC), and (5) statistical
analysis using the computer. Most of the course will focus on analysis of variance and multiple
regression.

Statistical Analysis on the Computer
We will use the computing laboratory in the psychology building for class sessions with the Teaching Assistants
(Room B 153). Students will learn to use the Statistical Package for the Social Sciences (SPSS) and the Statistical
Analysis System (SAS). The class web site can be found at: http:www.public.asu.edu/~davidpm/classes/psy330/ . The use
of the web site in the class will depend on class interest and time.
