I keep having to make my lit review more and more general because I can’t find enough research on the topics I’m trying to write on. At this rate, my title is going to be: “POST-TRAUMATIC GROWTH: SOMETHING MIGHT MEDIATE OR MODERATE SOMETHING ELSE BUT HELL IF I KNOW.”

Statistics Help
Somebody recently asked me: I am really struggling with stats (I too am I masters psych student) do you know any good websites/people to help? I know Andy Field and he is good up to a point but I am seriously stupid and sinking : (.
I thought I’d publish this in case anyone else had a similar issue, but I didn’t want to put the person’s name out for everyone to see.
Statistics is something all psychology students should learn to love, they never go away. I’m sorry that you are having a hard time grasping statistical concepts. Unfortunately, I don’t know too many specific websites that might be of help. I have found that if you Google some of the major concepts, there are usually University websites that contain the information.
Here are some that I do know that are helpful.
- Check out here for some GREAT statistics tutorial videos for SPSS.
- Here is a statistics website with some helpful information
- Or try this one.
I hope this helped at all. If not, try doing some searches for specific concepts and find some university course pages with some helpful information. Keep trying and keep reading, eventually it’ll click for you one of these days.Good luck!Do any one else have any online resources for statistic help?
Reblogging for future reference. What I’ve always been told is that its really easy to forget stat, but once you start doing a lot of research it sticks.

FYI, I would LOVE for someone to use my wedding as an opportunity for data collection.
About 3/4 of the way through my Psychology of Couples and Illness book. Sooooo… New book time! Yay!
I want to go into trauma and social support research, and am woefully uninformed about it or its treatment. So I’m not sure whether I should classify this as “self-assigned mandatory reading” or “reading for funsies.”

The American Psychological Association is calling on state and federal officials to stop anti-gay legal measures and to legalize same-sex marriage.
The scientific and professional organization’s guiding body voted unanimously at its annual meeting this week in Washington to declare its support for “full marriage equality for same-sex couples.”
- American Psychological Association declares support for “full marriage equality”
- APA: Studies show same-sex spouses have “sense of security, support and validation”
Because it deserves a reblog.
