This book illustrates step-by-step how to use SPSS 7.5 for Windows to answer both simple and complex research questions. It describes in non-technical language how to interpret a wide range of SPSS outputs. It enables the user to develop skills on how to choose the appropriate statistics, interpret the outputs, and write about the outputs and the meaning of the results.

Easy Use and Interpretation of SPSS for Windows: Answering Research Questions With Statistics

Psychology Press

The authors of this unique text found that while most students can "crunch" the numbers quite easily and accurately with a calculator or computer, many have trouble seeing the "big picture" or seeing how research questions and design influence data analysis. As a result, the authors developed a semantically consistent framework that integrates traditional research approaches (experimental, quasi-experimental, comparative) into three basic kinds of research questions (difference, associational, and descriptive), which, in turn, lead to three kinds or groups of statistics with the same names. This text: *helps students become good consumers of research by demonstrating how to analyze and evaluate research articles; *offers a number of summarizing diagrams and tables that clarify confusing or difficult to learn topics; *points out the value of qualitative research and how it should lead quantitative researchers to be more flexible; *divides all quantitative research questions into five logically consistent categories that help students select appropriate statistics and understand their cause and effect; and *classifies design into three major types: between groups, within subjects, and mixed groups and shows that, although these three types use the same general type of statistics (e.g., ANOVA), the specific statistics in between-groups design are different from those in within-subjects and mixed groups.

Reference

Designed to help students learn how to analyze and interpret research data, this book demonstrates how to produce a variety of statistics usually included in basic courses. The authors describe the use and interpretation of these statistics in a nontechnical and jargon-free language. This book's main goals are to help the reader choose the appropriate statistics, interpret the outputs, and develop skills in writing about the meaning of the results. To achieve these goals, the authors have combined material on: (a) how the appropriate choice of a statistic is based on the design of the research; (b) how to use SPSS to answer a number of research questions mainly about one realistic data set; and (c) how to interpret SPSS outputs. This helps the reader develop skills that cover the whole range of the design, data collection, data entry, analysis, and interpretation process. The book includes: * the key SPSS windows needed to perform the statistical analyses; * complete outputs with call-out boxes and interpretations to point out what to focus on; * interpretation questions to stimulate thinking; * many useful appendices; and * a FREE Data File CD-ROM is packaged with the book. This book uses SPSS 10.0 for Windows, however, there are only minor differences from versions 7, 8, and 9. Readers will have little difficulty applying the lessons to any of these versions. SPSS for Windows is intended as a supplemental text in a research methods or statistics course in behavioral science or education.

The book prepares students for all of the steps in the research process, from design and data collection, to writing about the results. The new edition features SPSS 14.0 for Windows, but can also be used with older and newer versions. There are also new problems, expanded discussions of effect sizes, and an expanded appendix on getting started with SPSS. The book features discussions of writing about outputs, data entry and checking, reliability assessment, testing assumptions, and descriptive, inferential, and nonparametric statistics. Several related statistics are included in each chapter. SPSS syntax, along with the output, is included for those who prefer this format. Two realistic data sets are available on the book’s CD and are used to solve the end of chapter problems. SPSS for Introductory Statistics, Third Edition, provides these helpful teaching tools: • All of the key SPSS windows needed to perform the analyses • Complete outputs with call-out boxes to highlight key points • Interpretation sections and questions to help students better understand the output • Lab assignments organized the way students proceed when they conduct a research project • Extra SPSS problems for practice in running and interpreting SPSS • Helpful appendices on how to get started with SPSS, write research questions, and create tables and figures.
