Tables can be used to present key descriptive statistics for a data set, such as mean values and standard deviation values for each condition within a psychological investigation
Presenting data in tables allows for easy comparison of important values without the need for data interpretation
Scattergram:
Shows the correlation between two sets of data by plotting points for each pair of scores
Indicates the degree and direction of the correlation between the co-variables, with one variable on the X-axis and the other on the Y-axis
Positive correlation: shows an upward trend where as one variable increases, so does the other
Negative correlation: shows a trend in the opposite direction where as one variable increases, the other decreases
Zero correlation: no distinct relationship shown between the two variables
Individual participant marks randomly appear on the scattergram
Bar charts:
Used to show frequency data for discrete variables
Plot mean scores separately for different conditions (e.g., A, B, C, D, E)
Histogram: similar to a bar chart but bars touch each other, indicating continuous data
Y-axis on a histogram represents frequency, while on a bar chart it represents value
