Introduction to SPSS in Psychology: For SPSS 10, 11, 12 and 13

Using SPSS effectively is about student confidence.  With Introduction to SPSS in Psychology, students will quickly master statistical analysis with SPSS.  Screenshots of all of the steps for each statistical technique give students that crucial confidence that they are on top of their analysis.  Key features of the output are highlighted graphically and explained.  Models of how to report the findings are provided for all techniques.

Introduction to SPSS in Psychology is designed for use with SPSS12 and 13 but is just as effective with SPSS 10 and 11.  It presents to students, beginners as well as more advanced students, an excellent, uncluttered, hands-on guide to the most common statistical package for psychologists.
