SPSS FOR INTRODUCTORY STATISTICS
(paper with CD) |
|
Designed to help students learn to analyze and
interpret research data using basic statistics, this new edition features
SPSS 12.0, but can also be used with earlier versions. Each chapter
introduces several statistics and provides instructions on how to run them
and interpret the output. The authors describe the use and interpretation of
these statistics in user-friendly, nontechnical language. The authors
demonstrate how to choose the appropriate statistic based on the research
design, how to interpret SPSS outputs, how to use SPSS to answer research
questions, and how to write about the outputs.
SPSS for Introductory Statistics, 2/e provides unique learning tools:
* all of the key SPSS windows needed to perform the analyses;
* complete outputs of what students can expect to produce with call-out
boxes to highlight what to focus on;
* interpretation sections and questions to help students better understand
the output; and
* lab assignments organized in a manner similar to the way in which students
proceed when they prepare data for a research project. Features new to this
second edition include:
*a discussion of effect size in each interpretation section;
*discussions of assumptions when statistics are first introduced;
*two data sets now available on a CD in the back of the book;
*a new chapter on data coding, entry, and checking;
*increased emphasis on descriptive and non-parametric statistics, testing
assumptions, and reliability assessment;
*SPSS syntax, with output, for those who prefer this format; and
*an Instructor's CD with PowerPoint slides.
This book is an ideal supplement for advanced courses in basic statistics or
research methods found in departments of psychology, education, and other
social and health sciences.
