STATISTICS FOR BEHAVIOURAL AND SOCIAL SCIENCES

Author: Porf. Narender K. Chadha

There has been an explosion in empirical psychological research in recent years, and it has been gratifying to see how fruitful all this research has been. We now have an excellent understanding of the complexities of human behavior from several different perspectives, including the cognitive, social, development, and biopsychological. In addition, we have knowledge of key dimensions of individual differences, and the factors responsible for individual differences in personality and intelligence. Finally, and in practical terms most importantly, psychologists have discovered so much about mental disorders that we have a range of very effective forms of therapy to relieve the misery experienced by individuals .
