For courses in Introductory Statistics and Research Methods courses using SPSS.

Using SPSS guides students through the most basic of SPSS techniques using step-by-step descriptions, presents statistical techniques and instruction on how to conduct statistical analyses, and explains in detail how to avoid all the obstacles common in the study of statistics.

The development of easy-to-use statistical software like SPSS has changed the way statistics is being taught and learned. Students can make transformations of variables, create graphs of distributions of variables, and select among statistical analyses all at the click of a button. However, even with these advancements, students sometimes still find statistics to be an arduous task. They continue to be faced with many potential obstacles and they might feel overwhelmed and stressed rather than challenged and excited about the potential for mastering these important skills. Samuel Green and Neil Salkind have written a text to specifically address these issues.

The book was in a much better condition than I expected! Thank you .

Very good SPSS (not Statistics) textbook. Works fine with newer version of SPSS, too.

Reviewed in the United States on 10 January 2016

I picked this book up as an ancillary textbook for one of my PhD Statistics classes. This is NOT a statistics textbook. It IS a solid SPSS textbook that will walk you through many/most of the common and basic tests. It also happens to be a fantastic reference for writing up results in APA format. A lot of books are absolutely horrendous with APA formatting, and this one gives sample sections for reporting results for the type of test covered in each chapter.
I have the GradPack version of SPSS, and I bought the older version of this book specifically for the overview of SPSS procedures and the APA examples. The 6th edition is written for SPSS version 18.00. I'm currently using SPSS Version 23 on my MacBook Pro, and most of the machines in our lab are PCs running Version 22 or 23. All the examples that I looked at are the same, or it's easy to figure out the changes in the newer version of SPSS. One of my professors suggested that we buy an older version of the book, since not much has changed with the main statistical functions that we are using.

Gives a good overview of working with SPSS. Someone new to the software or with limited use or use of other statistical software packages will find it very helpful.

Fantastically Usable but With Limits

Reviewed in the United States on 4 December 2011

Verified Purchase

I have used this book for a couple of years. It's very useful for relatively novice-level work. I still use it for picking and interpreting statistical tests, and it is very useful in writing APA-style conclusions. In my experience, it's really rare to find a book that does such a good job of presenting complicated information in an approachable and understandable way.

However, most of my SPSS problems these days go into far more depth than the book can cover. For example, the book does not get into the writing of syntax and the various related issues. So while the book makes it easy to get started importing records or aggregating data, for example, you might leave it behind to start doing things that are more complicated (and more powerful).

The book was suppose to be used good. It was used fair

Reviewed in the United States on 13 February 2018

The book was suppose to be used good. It was used fair. The jacket cover was ripped . Some of the pages were stained. The only good thing is there isn't any highlights or writing on the pages. I paid way to much.
