Synopsis

This step-by-step tutorial and instruction manual educates as it walks you through how to set up variables for data entry in SPSS, how to enter data manually, how to import data from Excel, how to recode data, how to transform data, how to filter data, how to edit output, and how to export the output into Word. It then walks you through how to create multiple tables and graphs as part of a descriptive analysis. Finally it walks you through the steps needed to conduct the most common hypothesis tests (One Sample T-Test, Two Sample T-Test for Independent Samples, Two Sample T-Test for Paired Samples, Analysis of Variance, Chi Square Test of Independence, Test of Correlation, Multiple Regression Analysis, as well as the nonparametric test equivalents where appropriate). Even for those who choose to use a different statistics package, this book can still be a valuable resource since the major emphasis is on following statistical procedures and proper wording.
