Jamovi for Psychologists

Jamovi for Psychologists offers a complete overview of topics in introductory statistics in an easy, conversational tone. But what makes it especially valuable is its practical emphasis—how to use very accessible software, fully understand its output, and appropriately report the results. It’s the kind of book students will actually find useful! * Andy Luttrell, Ball State University, USA *Jamovi for Psychologists is an excellent resource for those learning to use jamovi as part of a statistics course or for those seeking to better understand the wide range of statistical tests available in the software. The straightforward step-by-step instructions and conceptual framing of statistical analyses will help faculty make statistics and jamovi more accessible to students. * Andrew Mienaltowski, Western Kentucky University, USA *Jamovi for Psychologists, is a friendly introduction to the accessible statistics package jamovi. It is well-pitched for psychologists beginning to learn about statistics and includes concise but thorough guides throughout. * Piers Fleming, University of East Anglia, UK *

Paul Richardson is a Principal Lecturer and the Deputy Head of Psychology at Sheffield Hallam University. His background is in neuropsychology and neuroimaging, but his particular interests are in the realm of atypical behaviours i.e. outside the usual normative range. Currently this centres on those who have been involved in accidents and may be malingering on tests of cognitive performance in order to appear more impaired (“faking bad”). Prior to lecturing, he was a post-doctoral researcher investigating neural correlates of impulsivity, reward processing and empathy in those with antisocial personality syndrome. Before that, he earned his MSc and PhD researching specific memory difficulties in boys with Klinefelter’s Syndrome and developmental amnesia.
