Product Description

Review
"An excellent introduction to using SPSS for data analysis...extremely useful for undergraduate students, and covers a good range of material often not found in competing texts. It provides a self-contained resource itself, with more than simply (detailed and clear) step-by-step descriptions of statistical procedures in SPSS. There is also a wealth of tips and advice, and for each statistical technique a brief, but consistently reliable, explanation is provided." - George Dunbar, University of Warwick "This book is an excellent addition to the research methods literature. It presents the research process, research strategy and SPSS techniques in manageable steps offering clear advice, useful tips and discussion of relevant issues such as assumptions and effect size...this text is written in an encouraging and supportive style. I believe students will read and learn with this book."-David Cairns, Macquarie University, Australia"

Product Description
This manual aims to demystify statistics and data analysis by guiding you through the entire research process and helping you choose the right statistical technique for your project. From the formulation of research questions, to the design of the study and analysis of data, to reporting the results, the author discusses basic and advanced techniques. Each technique is clearly outlined, with step-by-step procedures for performing the analysis, a detailed guide to interpreting SPSS output and an example of how to present the results in a report. Illustrated with screen grabs, examples of output and tips, and supported by a website with sample data and guidelines on report writing, this manual can be used by students and researchers at any level alongside any major statistics textbook.

5.0 out of 5 stars Truly a survival manual, 6 Sep 2002
By Jill Cook (Hampshire, United Kingdom) - See all my reviews
This book really lives up to its name. Julie Pallant takes you through the requirements for preparing your data for analysis and gives you tips on how to manipulate them. The quick tour through basic statistics is a life-saver that gives you the confidence to proceed with the appropriate statistical testing. The step-by-step 'idiots guide', telling you which button to press next, takes the hassle out of data analysis. You are also provided with a 'hand-holding' guide to explain exactly what your output means. The book is logically set-out with a table summarising the various statistical tests and their uses, together with a basic explanation of what each test is providing for you in terms of statistical analysis. There are also plenty of references to guide you to more advanced texts, should you require them. I highly recommend this book to any MBA student carrying out a dissertation project, or anyone who needs some basic help with using SPSS and data analysis techniques. Julie Pallant, I really hope that you are considering writing some basic statistical textbooks because they would be incredibly useful.

5.0 out of 5 stars Julie Pallant saved my life with this book, 14 Aug 2001
By A Customer
Julie Pallant saved my life with this book. Ok, slight exageration but this book really is a life saver. While this book doesn't give an in-depth description of all the statisitical techniques and the theory behind them, it does tell you how to enter data into SPSS, see whether it has a normal distribution, select and run the appropriate test, interpret the results and finally even how to present those results. If the mere thought of statistics gives you a headache then this book is for you!

5.0 out of 5 stars The life belt is so relevant, 28 April 2003
To any students who have found themselves faced with the horror of spss when they had signed up for a degree in psychology- this is a god send. Naively, I had expected more freud and less ANOVA but this book is brilliant- step by step- a real idiots guide that will give you a clear grounding in the joys of statistice before you know it!
