Product Description
Review
'The best SPSS book... Every student should have a copy!' - Dr James Jackson, Associate Senior Lecturer, Leeds Trinity& All Saints, UK
'This is the clearest guide to using SPSS I have found – the step-by-step framework provides an easy to follow overview, as well as more in-depth explanation for those who need it. From the very simple to the more complex, this text is ideal for all levels of an undergraduate degree and beyond.' - Dr Fhionna Moore, Lecturer in Psychology, University of Abertay Dundee, UK
'Student-friendly and clear, this is an excellent introductory text.' – Diane Wildbur, Lecturer in Psychology, De Montfort University, Leicester, UK
'An invaluable resource for students… well written and appropriately illustrated.' – Costas Karageorghis, Reader in Sport Psychology, Brunel University, UK
'A highly accessible introductory text that many students favour for its clarity and thoroughly annotated SPSS screenshots. The book also offers helpful guidance on the conventions of reporting statistical results, and this fourth edition is further strengthened by the inclusion of new material on data exploration and graphing.' – Dr Alistair Harvey, Lecturer in Psychology, University of Winchester
'...I would recommend the book to anyone who is doing research which involves statistical analysis. The text is clear and easy to understand, and also highly informative and I can confidently say it is one which I will be frequently referring to in the foreseeable future.' PsyPag Quarterly
Review

Format:Paperback
This book provided excellent navigation through the software package using valuable annotated screen diagrams and useful tip summaries. For the novice (both to statistics and SPSS) it is a fantastic synopsis of the process. It provides an explanation of basic statistic concepts and takes you through using SPSS. The combination allows you to understand what analysis is needed and how to perform this in SPSS thereby getting the best results from the system. The one minor shortfall is in the index which could be more comprehensive. I am a novice at statistics and have always dreaded using SPSS believing it to be complex and geared for statisticians, this book convinced my otherwise and I would recommend it to all scientists doing research using SPSS.

Format:Paperback
This book is about as user friendly as they come. I've trawled through quite a few books on the same subject and not found anything that comes close. It is very clearly laid out, with explanations of which test to perform and why, what buttons to press, what the output means and even how to report it in your results. It will get you started if you're a beginner or keep you going through your thesis as a quick reference.

Format:Paperback
This is a great book for students just learning about SPSS as well as assistants or psychologists who want to re-familiarise themselves with the basics. The layout is simple and the authors cover everything from an overview of basic experimental designs to how to input, handle and analyse data using all the basic tests. The writing style is clear and easy to understand - even if you're a beginner. I would definitely recommend it!

A rival to Andy Field's Discovering Statistics Using SPSS?
OK... this is not as comprehensive as Dr Field's text. But for those needing a simple resume of key statistical concepts and how to perform them using SPSS, this is invaluable.
