Introductory Statistics Using SPSS

This introductory textbook for the social and behavioral sciences shows students how to properly select, process, and interpret statistics without heavy emphasis on theory, formula derivations, or abstract mathematical concepts. 

Requiring no hand calculations, students learn how to process statistics in SPSS (screenshots from Version 23). Each chapter is structured to answer the following questions that students most want answered: 

• What statistical test should I use for this situation? 
• How do I set up the data?
• How do I run the test?
• How do I interpret and document the output?

Students learn by doing, with at least 20 practice exercises at the end of each chapter. Video tutorials created by the author on the accompanying website show how to set up the data and run the test in SPSS: because of the wealth of online study materials, this book is the perfect solution for someone wanting to implement a flipped classroom for this course. 

New to the Second Edition is:

• a SAGE edge website with additional practice problems
• a helpful glossary in the back of the book
• new coverage of logistic regression
• more figures in the earlier chapters to aid in comprehension
• additional coverage of non-parametric statistics as alternatives to the parametric statistics covered.
