Items related to Data Analysis for the Behavioral Sciences Using SPSS
Synopsis
This book is written from the perspective that statistics is an integrated set of tools used together to uncover the story contained in numerical data. Accordingly, the book comes with a disk containing a series of real data sets to motivate discussions of appropriate methods of analysis. The presentation is based on a conceptual approach supported by an understanding of underlying mathematical foundations. Students learn that more than one method of analysis is typically needed and that an ample characterization of results is a critical component of any data analytic plan. The use of real data and SPSS to perform computations and create graphical summaries enables a greater emphasis on conceptual understanding and interpretation.

Review
"In Statistics Using SPSS, An Integrative Approach, Weinberg and Abramowitz have written an engaging and accessible introduction to the practice of statistics. A hands-on approach and a wealth of exercises and examples immerse the reader in the process of data analysis from the very beginning. Students and practitioners alike will benefit from the book's careful, gentle prose, its use of real data, and its step-by-step demonstrations of analytical techniques in SPSS. Perhaps best of all, the authors remain firmly grounded in application. Unlike many texts, In Statistics Using SPSS never loses sight of how statistics can be used to help us describe and better understand the world around us."
Sean P. Corcoran, Assistant Professor of Educational Economics, New York University
