Book Hero Magic formatted this description to make it easier to read. While it's new and still learning, it may not be perfect - your feedback is welcome! Description

Featuring a practical approach with numerous examples, the second edition of Categorical Data Analysis for the Behavioral and Social Sciences focuses on helping the reader develop a conceptual understanding of categorical methods, making it a much more accessible text than others on the market. The authors cover common categorical analysis methods and emphasise specific research questions that can be addressed by each analytic procedure, including how to obtain results using SPSS, SAS, and R, so that readers are able to address the research questions they wish to answer.

Each chapter begins with a "Look Ahead" section to highlight key content. This is followed by an in-depth focus and explanation of the relationship between the initial research question, the use of software to perform the analyses, and how to interpret the output substantively. Included at the end of each chapter are a range of software examples and questions to test knowledge.

New to the second edition:

  • The addition of R syntax for all analyses and an update of SPSS and SAS syntax.
  • The addition of a new chapter on GLMMs.
  • Clarification of concepts and ideas that graduate students found confusing, including revised problems at the end of the chapters.

Written for those without an extensive mathematical background, this book is ideal for a graduate course in categorical data analysis taught in departments of psychology, educational psychology, human development and family studies, sociology, public health, and business. Researchers in these disciplines interested in applying these procedures will also appreciate this book’s accessible approach.

Book Hero Magic summarised reviews for this book. While it's new and still learning, it may not be perfect - your feedback is welcome! HOW HAS THIS BEEN REVIEWED?

Chris Beeley from the Institute of Mental Health, Nottingham, calls it "an accessible walkthrough of the world of Bernoulli, Poisson, log-linear, multinomial, logistic, and all things non-interval," praising it as both an enjoyable read and a valuable reference. Terry Ackerman of the University of North Carolina highlights it as "an excellent resource for researchers and graduate courses," while Sara Templin from the University of Alabama regards it as "a much-needed, user-friendly book" that fills a significant market gap through its dual focus on SPSS and SAS. These endorsements underline the book’s practical approach and educational value.
