Using Statistical Methods in Social Science Research with a Complete SPSS Guide, Second Edition (including disc)

In Using Statistical Methods, Soleman Abu-Bader detects and addresses the gaps between the research and data analysis of the classroom environment and the practitioner s office. This book not only guides social scientists through different tests, but also provides students and researchers alike with information that will help them in their own practice.

With focus on the purpose, rationale, and assumptions made by each statistical test, and a plethora of research examples that clearly display their applicability and function in real-world practice, Professor Abu-Bader creates a step-by-step description of the process needed to clearly organize, choose a test or statistical technique, analyze, interpret, and report research findings.
