Data is gold. This gold is found on the street, but mostly in unappealing ore lumps. You can find it, for example, in corporate databases or through specific surveys. How to extract this gold, meaning how to properly analyze data and interpret the results, is explained in "Data and Statistics for Social Scientists and Psychologists." This easily understandable compact book serves as a systematic and application-oriented introduction aimed at students who encounter various data in their academic work and practitioners who are inexperienced in statistical methods. With its clear and relatable examples, it will be a valuable resource for every reader.
