Making Effective Graphs in the Social Sciences: Fundamental Principles and Processes
Autor Eric Johann Hirisen Limba Engleză Hardback – 29 iun 2026
This includes: a) knowledge of the different types of graphs and under what circumstances each graph is appropriate, b) knowledge of what decisions to make when choosing graph components, such as the type of axis or data symbols, and what evidence supports those decisions, and c) how to use consistency within and across graphs to make your graphs easier to understand. In addition to developing this knowledge base, practical skills are developed for creating effective graphs in Microsoft Excel, IBM SPSS Statistics software ("SPSS"), and R. For Microsoft Excel and SPSS this includes illustrated and annotated step by step instructions. Electronic resources, including full Excel and SPSS appendices and downloadable datasets hosted on the Routledge product page, support the worked examples in the book. Social science researchers and students in data-based social science courses will benefit from the focus on both knowledge and practical skills.
Instructors will find the book self-contained – allowing students to make more effective graphs with minimal instructor intervention.

Recenzii
Hiris’ Making Effective Graphs in the Social Sciences provides a guide for both students and professionals. Hiris provides guiding principles using examples and humor with the added benefit of clear practical instruction in making graphs across multiple platforms.
Professor Aileen M. Bailey, St. Mary’s College of Maryland, United States
Eric Hiris, an accomplished cognitive psychologist, has produced an excellent book on Making Effective Graphs in the Social Sciences. Full of ideas and resources for creating informative, attractive graphs, the book reifies the maxim that a well-composed picture can be worth a thousand words.
Professor Emeritus Randolph Blake, Vanderbilt University
Clear guiding principles and developed examples illustrate how smart graphing choices improve reader experience. Hiris gives instructors, researchers, and students a solid, usable resource that covers the why and how of effective graphs, and thus, directly contributes to science and data literacy.
Dr. Kimberly Epting, Department of Psychology, Elon University
This book is an invaluable guide for students and researchers seeking clarity in data visualization. By bridging SPSS, Excel, and R, it provides practical strategies to transform data into meaningful graphics, making complex results easy to understand and communicate across audiences.
