Product Description
This book demonstrates how to analyze and interpret research data with SPSS 15.0 through a variety of statistics reviewed in intermediate statistics courses. The new edition features SPSS 15.0 but it can also be used with earlier versions. Each chapter introduces several statistics and explains how to run them and interpret the outputs. Featuring user-friendly descriptions, the book reviews how to assess the reliability and validity of data. The authors demonstrate how to: choose the appropriate statistic based on the research design; use SPSS to answer research questions; and interpret and write about SPSS outputs. The examples use real data and are contained on the book's CD. Outputs, screen shots, and lab assignments complete the package. This inexpensive paperback is an ideal supplement for courses on intermediate/advanced statistics and/or research methods.

5 out of 5 found this review helpful
I found this book to be very helpful in understanding the output from the SPSS statistical software. I would recommend it to anyone using this software. This book was listed as a recommended book for a class I am taking in intermediate statistics. Normally I do not buy those books listed for my classes as "recommended". This book has been so helpful in understanding the data output from the statistical software, I would definitely recommend anyone using this software to purchase this book. I especially like the tips for writing that is given in each section. these tips make your write-up of the data look and sound very professional as well as making it easy to understand the write-ups in the professional journals.
One of the MOST useful guides to SPPS and statistical procedures December 23, 2005

This book has been a life-saver. Its clear and concise about most of the main techniques you might need for analyzing your data. Its written as a practical guide to help you understand which statistical procedure to use. I'm a PhD student in Epidemiology and this is the book that really helped clear my concepts about the various statistical techniques and most importantly how and when to use them. All the classes I took in advanced mathematical statistics were full of jargon and theoretical stuff. This book is what helped me really understand the various techniques. Consider it a like a Dummies Guide to Practical Statistics..... I hope the author writes another book called SPSS for Advanced Statistics.
