Presenting Your Findings: A Practical Guide for Creating Tables / Edition 6

by Adelheid A. M. Nicol, Penny M. Pexman, American Psychological Association Staff

Overview

Gone are the days when researchers and students were forced to search through journals for the best way to construct a table of results. Updated to reflect current standards in reporting and graphic displays, Presenting Your Findings: A Practical Guide for Creating Tables, Sixth Edition, provides invaluable guidance on the proper table format for a wide range of statistical analyses in an engaging and accessible format. The authors have included statistics commonly used in analyses to make the book as useful as possible for researchers and students and have organized the chapters according to the complexity of the statistic. Each chapter is devoted to a different statistic and provides a variety of examples of how data could best be displayed. Included for each statistic is a "Play It Safe" table that illustrates the most comprehensive formatting options. This definitive resource for how to build tables will eliminate editorial drudgery and free up your time for more gainful pursuits.

Editorial Reviews

After setting out the main features of graphs, Nicol (psychology, Royal Military College of Canada) and Pexman (psychology, U. of Calgary) explain specific graphs for different kinds of statistics. Among them are the analysis of covariance, cluster analysis, log- linear analysis, the multivariate analysis of variance, structural equation modeling, and word tables. Annotation c.
