About the Book

For those who have a basic understanding of statistics and want to learn SPSS on their own, this concise, practical guide can be used in conjunction with another text or as a self-instructional resource. With the assistance of ample screenshots, bullet points, and callouts, readers master SPSS by inputting and analyzing their own data, rather than simply opening existing databases. The Second Edition introduces advanced concepts such as Logistic Regression, Principal Components Factor Analysis, and more complex graphing methods. This edition is compatible with IBM SPSS versions through 23.

Review :
"The text is clearly written, concise, [and] well-organized, and I very much appreciated its interactive approach. The screenshots of SPSS utilized throughout make it especially user-friendly for students." -- Sally Dear-Healey, SUNY Cortland "The book is a comprehensive, well-written SPSS resource. The authors provide readers clear step-by-step instructions on how to execute SPSS procedures." -- Richard Acton Rinaldo, Georgian College "...[T]he book sticks to its purpose, which is to walk the students through SPSS and not teach them stats...It does its job well." -- Mark G. Harmon, Portland State University "A current and easy-to-use guide to SPSS that can function as a primary or supplemental text..." -- Geoffrey W. Sutton, Evangel University "This book is useful for applied statistical courses where the students have an advanced background in their field but little or no statistical software knowledge." -- Susan Serrano, Florida Southern College Previous Edition, Using SPSS: An Interactive Hands-On Approach "I love this book... The structure, content and format are superior in every way to what I have been using, and will make my task easier and the students' learning curve shorter." -- G.L. Forward, Point Loma Nazarene University "Clearly presented and written. Even I learned something! I believe students will find this a valuable resource." -- Dr. Joann Keyton, North Carolina State University
