Basic SPSS Tutorial

This supplementary book for the social, behavioral, and health sciences helps readers with no prior knowledge of IBM(R) SPSS(R) Statistics, statistics, or mathematics learn the basics of SPSS. Designed to reduce fear and build confidence, Basic SPSS Tutorial by Manfred te Grotenhuis and Anneke Matthijssen guides readers through point-and-click sequences using clear examples from real scientific research and invites them to replicate the findings. Relevant outcomes are provided for reference, and exercises at the end of Chapters 2 - 5 provide additional practice. After reading the book and using the program, readers will come away with a basic knowledge of the most commonly used procedures in statistics.

This text does a very good job covering basic descriptive and inferential data analysis using SPSS.--Ayana Conway, Virginia State University
