Summary

Students will find this no-nonsense, streamlined book teaches them everything they need to know about the new SPSS for Windows, Versions 8.0, 9.0, and 10.0. This guide gives students just enough information and instruction to effectively use SPSS for Windows to perform such procedures at stem-and-leaf displays, t-tests, multiple regressions, and scatterplots. In addition, it makes learning the SPSS program simple, whether students need it to do homework problems or to conduct statistical analyses for a research project. The authors wrote the book to cover what the first-time or casual user needs to know to conduct data analysis in SPSS at the level of an introductory statistics course in psychology.
