Introduction to SPSS in Psychology Summary

Introduction to SPSS in Psychology: For Version 16 and earlier by Dennis Howitt

Introduction to SPSS in Psychology 4/e, makes using SPSS for the analysis of data quick and simple. This student-friendly text offers the most comprehensive coverage of statistical techniques and how SPSS can handle and manipulate all kinds of data.

The fourth edition provides new and extended coverage of what needs to be known about each statistical and data analysis procedure. The user is given a step-by-step guide through what kinds of data to enter and how; the SPSS steps needed to complete the analysis; and how to understand and write-up the results of the analysis. In no time, users will gain confidence that they understand a full range of statistical techniques and how to use them in practice.

This book is accompanied by a CD containing datasets, worked examples and exercises to allow practice and revision of techniques covered in the book.

Introduction to SPSS in Psychology Reviews

'A much greater emphasis on simplicity of presentation, explanation and clear step-by-step examples makes this new edition an essential student-friendly resource"

Chad Shepherd, Student, London South Bank University, UK

'The text is student friendly and utilises real data sets, providing step-by-step illustrations and screenshots. This textbook makes light work of both the basic features and the more advanced elements of SPSS.'

Mary Low, St AndrewsUniversity
