If you only need the buying answer
The current print listing for Statistics for Psychology is not the cheapest route in the sampled market. Pearson+ is much lower, and even the sampled lifetime eTextbook is lower. So if your main goal is cost efficiency, digital usually wins here. The current print listing only becomes interesting if you specifically want a physical statistics book and do not need the lower-cost digital route.

| Pearson+ (180 days) | Pearson | $54.96 | Check price |
| Lifetime eTextbook | Digital market | $89.99 | Check price |
| MyLab Statistics + eText | Pearson | $104.99 | Check price |
This is not a good place to force a print-win conclusion. The lower-cost answer is digital. The only reason to prefer print is if ownership itself matters enough to you to outweigh the price gap.
What this book actually teaches
A statistics-for-psychology text matters because it teaches students how evidence is summarized, tested, interpreted, and connected to psychological questions. A good stats book is useful when it moves students from calculator anxiety toward actual understanding of variability, inference, design, and interpretation.
That can still make ownership worthwhile for some students, especially those who expect more methods or research work later. But the content value of the book is not the same thing as the best current route to buy it. Right now, the market says the cheaper route is digital.
What I would do instead
Choose Pearson+ if you only need the book for one term at the lowest cost. Choose another digital route if you want longer access without paying for print. Only choose the current print listing if you specifically want a physical copy and accept that it is not the cheapest path.
