Abstract

Attitudes toward statistics and using R in psychology statistics courses differ by level of study. Students in more senior years tended to hold positive attitudes, whereas junior students held more neutral attitudes. Strong positive correlations between attitudes toward R and statistics and students’ final grade were observed for undergraduate students.
