As time goes by, your use of some of the statistics described in the book will inevitably become more advanced, more will be expected of you when analysing your data, and you may be expected to use other techniques. This part of the website is for those of you who are more advanced in your study - in the UK, for example, at least some way into your second year of studying for a degree in psychology. It stops short of some of the more advanced multivariate techniques of analysis, such as factor analysis, logistic regression and structural equation modelling. If you are advanced enough to be using these, then there is probably little I can tell you! If you are using statistics like these you need to consult relevant textbooks of multivariate statistics. For details of what you should report and how, turn to the latest edition of a guide such as the Publication Manual of the American Psychological Association .
You can find recommended reading at the rear of Designing and Reporting Experiments in Psychology . There I recommend a whole range of textbooks of varying levels, as well as the two statistics textbooks paired with this third edition and referred to throughout this website. Another useful resource, and one that can often help you resolve advanced statistical problems, is the website maintained by David Howell. I often use this myself. You can find it at:
