Abstract
Statistical literacy is foundational for an undergraduate psychology education. However, a lack of consensus remains regarding best-practices for teaching practical statistical skills. Our study finds that online interactive tutorials are an effective approach to introduce undergraduates to statistical software, with positive impacts on attitudes towards statistics and knowledge of R.
