Computer-Based Data Analysis: Using Spss in the Social and Behavioral Sciences (Nelson-Hall Series in Psychology)

This primer is essential for anyone in the social sciences who needs to break down raw data into usable information. Using the SPSS data analysis software, this manual describes how to prepare and enter data and interpret results. From the very basic information on computers for the first-time users, the authors take the reader through the necessary steps involved in using SPSS. The book avoids "computerese" and provides abundant background information - something that software manuals seldom do.
