Descriptive statistics employs a set of procedures that make it possible to meaningfully and accurately summarize and describe samples of data. In order for one to make meaningful statements about psychological events, the variable or variables involved must be organized, measured, and then expressed as quantities.
Descriptive statistics are used to organize or summarize a set of data. Examples include percentages, measures of central tendency (mean, median, mode), measures of dispersion (range, standard deviation, variance), and correlation coefficients.

describe and summarize data in psychology. This includes measures of central tendency (mean, median, mode) and variability (range, variance, standard deviation).
They are called descriptive because they organize and summarize some important properties of the data set. Keep in mind that researchers are often collecting data from hundreds of participants; descriptive statistics allow them to make some basic interpretations about the results without having to eyeball each result individually.
