Using SPSS for Windows and Macintosh: Analyzing and Understanding Data 6e
Using SPSS for Windows and Macintosh: Analyzing and Understanding Data 6th Edition PDF Download Ebook. Samuel B. Green and Neil J. Salkind describe the most basic of SPSS techniques using step-by-step descriptions. This text 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.
Unit 1, “Getting Started with SPSS,” shows the student how to get started using SPSS, including a survey of the main menus, a description of how to use SPSS Help, and a brief tour of what SPSS can do. Unit 2, “Creating and Working with Data Files,” goes through the steps of defining variables, showing how data are entered and edited, how to use the data editor and the data view screens, how to print SPSS data files, and how to import and export information to and from SPSS.
Unit 3, “Working with Data,” describes how to find and replace data, recode and compute values, sort data, and merge and split files. Unit 4, the final unit in Part I, titled “Working with SPSS Charts and Output,” teaches the student how to create and enhance SPSS charts as well as how to work with SPSS output including pivot tables. SPSS Windows (version 15) and Macintosh (version 13) differ in the way that graphics are created and edited, and, thus, there is a separate section covering each, Unit 4A for Windows and Unit 4B for the Macintosh. SPSS is becoming increasingly cross-platform and if you know the Windows version, you can easily adapt to the Macintosh version (and vice versa).
Possible obstacles: Students can feel helpless. Although they can point and click, they are frequently confronted with new dialogue boxes with many decisions to make. The amount of output and numbers produced by any statistical procedure is overwhelming and difficult to interpret.
