For one-quarter/semester courses that focus on the basics in statistics or combine statistics with research methods. The fifth edition of Statistics for the Behavioral and Social Sciences builds off an already well-established approach - emphasizing the intuitive, deemphasizing the mathematical, and explaining everything in direct, simple language - but also goes beyond these principles to further student understanding. By using definitional formulas to emphasize the concepts of statistics, rather than rote memorization, students work problems in a way that keeps them constantly aware of the underlying logic of what they are doing.

The goal of this new Handbook of Closeness and Intimacy is to bring together the latest thinking on the scientific study of closeness and intimacy from the most active and widely recognized relationship scholars in social and clinical psychology, communication studies, and related disciplines.

What individual differences play a role in closeness and intimacy? What situational factors play a role? Is there a dark side to closeness and intimacy? Each chapter in the Handbook of Closeness and Intimacy follows a similar format so as to provide continuity for the reader.
