Now in its Fifth Edition, William Wagner’s Using SPSS for Social Statistics and Research Methods has come to be trusted as a reliable and student-friendly resource for those learning to use the SPSS software for the first time. Ideal as a companion to a statistics or research methods text or as a stand-alone guide, this supplementary text shows readers how to use images and directions drawn from SPSS Version 22.0 and now uses the latest version of the GSS (General Social Survey) as a secondary data set. It is designed as an ideal manual for SPSS use for social statistics and research methods classes.
