The second edition of this popular guide demonstrates the
process of entering and analyzing data using the latest version of
SPSS (12.0), and is also appropriate for those using earlier
versions of SPSS. The book is easy to follow because all procedures
are outlined in a step-by-step format designed for the novice user.
Students are introduced to the rationale of statistical tests and
detailed explanations of results are given through clearly
annotated examples of SPSS output. Topics covered range from
descriptive statistics through multiple regression analysis. In
addition, this guide includes topics not typically covered in other
books such as probability theory, interaction effects in analysis
of variance, factor analysis, and scale reliability. Chapter
exercises reinforce the text examples and may be performed for
further practice, for homework assignments, or in computer
laboratory sessions.
This book can be used in two ways: as a stand-alone manual for
students wishing to learn data analysis techniques using SPSS for
Windows, or in research and statistics courses to be used with a
basic statistics text. The book provides hands-on experience with
actual data sets, helps students choose appropriate statistical
tests, illustrates the meaning of results, and provides exercises
to be completed for further practice or as homework
assignments.
