| example of inferential statistics in psychology: Interpreting and Using Statistics in Psychological Research Andrew N. Christopher, 2016-08-30 This practical, conceptual introduction to statistical analysis by award-winning teacher Andrew N. Christopher uses published research with inherently interesting social sciences content to help students make clear connections between statistics and real life. Using a friendly, easy-to-understand presentation, Christopher walks students through the hand calculations of key statistical tools and provides step-by-step instructions on how to run the appropriate analyses for each type of statistic in SPSS and how to interpret the output. With the premise that a conceptual grasp of statistical techniques is critical for students to truly understand why they are doing what they are doing, the author avoids overly formulaic jargon and instead focuses on when and how to use statistical techniques appropriately. |
| example of inferential statistics in psychology: Understanding and Evaluating Research Sue L. T. McGregor, 2017-10-25 Understanding and Evaluating Research: A Critical Guide shows students how to be critical consumers of research and to appreciate the power of methodology as it shapes the research question, the use of theory in the study, the methods used, and how the outcomes are reported. The book starts with what it means to be a critical and uncritical reader of research, followed by a detailed chapter on methodology, and then proceeds to a discussion of each component of a research article as it is informed by the methodology. The book encourages readers to select an article from their discipline, learning along the way how to assess each component of the article and come to a judgment of its rigor or quality as a scholarly report. |

| example of inferential statistics in psychology: Statistical Inference as Severe Testing Deborah G. Mayo, 2018-09-20 Mounting failures of replication in social and biological sciences give a new urgency to critically appraising proposed reforms. This book pulls back the cover on disagreements between experts charged with restoring integrity to science. It denies two pervasive views of the role of probability in inference: to assign degrees of belief, and to control error rates in a long run. If statistical consumers are unaware of assumptions behind rival evidence reforms, they can't scrutinize the consequences that affect them (in personalized medicine, psychology, etc.). The book sets sail with a simple tool: if little has been done to rule out flaws in inferring a claim, then it has not passed a severe test. Many methods advocated by data experts do not stand up to severe scrutiny and are in tension with successful strategies for blocking or accounting for cherry picking and selective reporting. Through a series of excursions and exhibits, the philosophy and history of inductive inference come alive. Philosophical tools are put to work to solve problems about science and pseudoscience, induction and falsification. |

| example of inferential statistics in psychology: Statistics for Psychology II PressGrup Academician Team, Interpreting and Reporting Statistical Results In the realm of psychological research, the ability to interpret and report statistical results accurately is paramount. This chapter delves into the essential guidelines and practices that researchers must follow to communicate findings effectively and responsibly. As psychologists often work with complex data sets, the interpretation of statistical results demands clarity, precision, and rigor. Understanding Statistical Output The first step in interpreting statistical results is to comprehend the output generated by statistical software. This output typically includes a range of statistics such as p-values, confidence intervals, regression coefficients, and others, depending on the analysis conducted. Each of these elements conveys critical information, which must be accurately interpreted to draw meaningful conclusions. For example, in hypothesis testing, the p-value indicates the probability of obtaining results as extreme as observed, assuming the null hypothesis is true. A p-value less than the predefined alpha level (commonly set at 0.05) leads to the rejection of the null hypothesis. Researchers must not only report the p-value but also contextualize it within the broader framework of the study, including the sample size and effect size. |
