22. MCAT Psychology and Sociology Review (Graduate School Test Preparation)
1 mention
Princeton Review
The Art of War
The Prince
The book is geared towards using SPSS, but it does offer info on some calculations and theory. My BA psych stats class was all about stats by hand (no calculators allowed!) and it was immensely helpful! I used the 4th edition of this book. It was a while ago so I don't remember how great the book was, but I learned a lot in that class because our prof explained things very well and made us do everything by hand.
You'd do well to learn SPSS, but don't go nuts. It's a powerful program and even after taking a whole class in it, I probably know 10% of what it can do. Your RA position should help you get acquainted well enough for a bachelors level student. Grad programs aren't looking for experts in SPSS, they're looking for people who learn well and want to learn more.

si les preguntas gringos con espaniol como segunda lengua, te van a decir lo opuesto. Me encantaria saber la psicologia detras: xq el doblaje en caricaturas y en peliculas se aprecia diferente?
EDIT: Fui a echar una caca y me puse a pensar, creo que ya lo se. De mi curso de psicologia en la uni. Hay experimentos que muestran que los bebes incluso antes de nacer reconocen y prefieren el sonido de su idioma materno. A la edad en la que la mayoria vemos caricaturas nuestro cerebro aun esta en desarrollo y es natural la preferecia por el idioma materno. La razon evolutiva es simplemente identificacion con nuestro grupo/familia/trubu etc. Salsa: cualquier texto de psicologia. A mi me gusta el Gray.
Free book chapters. Mostly from the Encyclopedia on Measurement and Statistics.
*Edit - so, what topics of data analysis are you looking to cover? Biostats? Social research?
Libros de psicologia general cubren este tema muy bien, en particular busca libros de abnormal psycology . Este es muy bueno: http://www.amazon.com/Abnormal-Psychology-Susan-Nolen-Hoeksema/dp/007336603X
I ALREADY DID YOU FUCKING RETARD
How to design and report statistics by Andy Field may be what you're looking for?
If it sounds right, I can vouch for it being a good book. It's recommended by a statistics professor at my university, and the author of the book is pretty good. To warn you, the writing in the book is a bit basic and may be oversimplified. It could be useful for you, though.

I have not read, but have heard good things about Aronson's Social Animal from academics and "laypeople."
My social psych class used Brehm, Kassin, and Fein's text. It is a solid no-frills textbook that doesn't require previous knowledge of psychology.
NO. Absolutely Not.
When a person takes their live, who are they hurting? Themselves? No. Once your dead, you don't care that your dead. You are physically incapable of caring that you are dead. Truthfully, it doesn't actually hurt yourself to commit suicide. So who does it hurt? EVERYONE AROUND YOU. The parents, friends, family...they are all absolutely devastated by your suicide. Your parents will forever blame themselves...no matter what kind of bullshit note you left, they will never be able to forgive themselves....they will always feel like it is their fault somehow. Any kind of significant other you had: devastated forever. Kids: left in this cruel world without a father or a mother. Friends: Forever haunted by your memory.
It is the same reason why murder isn't OK. If you kill someone, they themselves aren't really hurt. They are dead: they don't know their dead, and they don't care. It is the people that care about them that are forever devastated.
If, theoretically, someone was a hermit, who has never interacted with another human being, and has no one that cares about them, then they are welcome to commit suicide. That situation isn't really feasible though.
Also: Anyone who wants to commit suicide is not a rational person. There is never a reasonable defense to suicide. If holocaust victims had the will to carry on, so can you. If starving children in Africa have the will to carry on, so can you. If you are really contemplating suicide in a serious way, go get help. You probably have depression, a completely treatable disorder. You have a responsibility to live, to try and make things better for yourself.
Background: I am the son of a clinical psychiatrist who works with aids patients. I have seen a lot of suicides in my life. People who were dying of aids, and had chronic depression. It doesn't make it any less painful for their family. Him , His book
TL;DR: No. You forever devastate everyone around you. It is not OK.

You should buy this, it will be the best $50 you ever spend and you'll learn a lot about yourself, pay special attention to the section about delusional behaviour.

I don't know about /u/fanny4real, but it is the 'basic' stuff I learn at my cognitive neuro psychology study. If you are really interested you should pick up a college book on cognitive neuro science, this is the one we use, there are probably cheaper sources to buy it from though.

Is just TPR and KA notes a good idea or is Kaplan a good supplement.
I'm using TBR for all other review but some people just use Kaplan for content and score 520+.....

I call shenanigans on Companion Encyclopedia of Psychology. I have those. It's a two volume set, paperback. It was like $50 max for both of them. I know they were less than $50 because if they cost more, I wouldn't have bought them. I surely wouldn't have bought a $600 set of books.
EDIT: Found it on Amazon. $41
