Product Overview
The topics are presented in the same sequence as in a first coursenot 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.
