About this title

Synopsis

• The topics are presented in the same sequence as in a first course―not in SPSS groupings. For instance, instead of a single chapter on using SPSS to produce a variety of statistical figures, each type of figure is illustrated at an appropriate point in this text.

• The sequential organization makes it easy for students to navigate SPSS for the specific purposes they need in class.

• No previous knowledge of SPSS is assumed. Each step is clearly explained and fully illustrated.

• Each chapter defines one or two statistics, describes when to use them, and illustrates how to compute them using SPSS.

• Each chapter shows how to format raw SPSS output and describe it in a research report.

• All examples are consistent with the styles specified in the Publication Manual of the American Psychological Association.

• Hundreds of screenshots with superimposed arrows make it easy for students to follow the step-by-step directions for using SPSS.

• End-of-chapter exercises help students master their new skills. An answer key will be included with each examination copy.
