"An excellent introduction to using SPSS for data analysis...extremely useful for undergraduate students, and covers a good range of material often not found in competing texts. It provides a self-contained resource itself, with more than simply (detailed and clear) step-by-step descriptions of statistical procedures in SPSS. There is also a wealth of tips and advice, and for each statistical technique a brief, but consistently reliable, explanation is provided." - George Dunbar, University of Warwick

"This book is an excellent addition to the research methods literature. It presents the research process, research strategy and SPSS techniques in manageable steps offering clear advice, useful tips and discussion of relevant issues such as assumptions and effect size...this text is written in an encouraging and supportive style. I believe students will read and learn with this book." - David Cairns, Macquarie University, Australia

The SPSS Survival Manual throws a lifeline to students and researchers grappling with SPSS. Written in a friendly, jargon-free style, it demystifies statistics and data analysis by guiding you through the entire research process and helping you to choose the right statistical technique for your project. From the formulation of research questions, to the design of the study and analysis of data, to reporting the results, Julie Pallant discusses basic and advanced statistical techniques. She outlines each technique clearly, with step-by-step procedures for performing the analysis, a detailed guide to interpreting SPSS output and an example of how to present the results in a report. The user-friendliness of the manual is enhanced by spiral binding which makes it easy to use at a computer. A recommended reading section points the reader towards additional sources of advice. Illustrated with screen grabs, examples of output and tips, and supported by a website (www.openup.co.uk/spss) with sample data and guidelines on report writing, the SPSS Survival Manual can be used by students and researchers at any level alongside any major statistics textbook.

SPSS Survival Manual: A Step By Step Guide to Data Analysis Using SPSS for Windows PDF

Everything you wanted to know about SPSS but were afraid to ask (or you asked and they refused to answer, or simply you didn't know who to ask or where to find it).

This book is fantastic. Better than an Idiot's Guide, this book runs you through the statistical side of a research project. It has a no nonsense approach to the statistical tests that you will perform, and makes suggestions as to which tests are appropriate. Additionally, it runs you through various tests to check for normality of data and how to handle outliers.

SPSS should be ashamed that they have no comparable text to this one written by Pallant. I know - I have purchased many SPSS texts in hopes to actually acquire one that deals with the basics. All fail, and Pallant's text rises high above the others in delivering as it promises. It truly is "a step by step guide to data analysis using SPSS."

This text should be required for any graduate student before they take on their thesis or doctoral research. It goes far in demystifying the process.

This is one of the best step-by-step survival guides for statistical analysis I have ever used. Although it needs a little more detail on writing up the results of more advanced techniques like multiple regression, instructions are clear and to the point without a lot of extra "words" that just take time to read but do not add anything helpful. I have already pre-ordered 2 copies of the next edition!!!!
