Using SPSS to solve statistical problems
The authors state that they wrote the books with two primary goals in mind. An opportunity to learn and use the statistical software package SPSS and to provide an introduction to a variety of statistical analysis procedures commonly used by graduate students, researchers and other professionals. They have succeeded extremely well on both occasions. The book has made a tremendous difference in ...

Analyzing and Understanding Data
A more appropriate name for the book would be "Analyzing and Understanding Data Using SPSS for Windows and Macintosh" to underscore the book's usefulness when one is analyzing data and wants explanations of the statistical procedures. This book is not only helpful to those who conduct quantitative research, but also helpful to students enrolled in applied statistics courses, in general research ...

Andy Field
Sage Publications Ltd, 2005
Bless you, Andy Field!
This should be the first book you buy if you need help with stats and SPSS. When I first began doing empirical research I knew almost nothing about statistics or SPSS, and had to learn virtually everything I needed to know about complex multivariate tests on my own. I had suffered through many of the relevant, canonical books before I happened upon Field. It was a V-8 moment. Not only does the ...

SPSS Review
Good book. Nice that it comes with SPSS Student Version software CD. (I didn't notice that for at least a month--it's in the back of the book.) The authors try to write in a cutesy, friendly way. Kinda fun sometimes. There are some typos in the book that caused me grief--in particular in the assignments at the end of chapters (that's how my professor assigned homework from the book). Some ...

It Got Me an A on the Midterm
I was behind in class, I was not "getting it" and I was desperate! So I bought all the SPSS books I could find. Pallant's book is the one I used. Everything I needed to know and be able to do was clearly explained. The accompanying online database served as an example, showing me how to enter data. This book will not go on my bookshelf; it will remain on my desk through my dissertation and ...

Very Practical
This is a great book for individuals wanting to learn more about SPSS and statistics in general. The chapters are fairly straightforward although the final two chapters dealing with factor analysis and cluster analysis are very demanding. It was nice to be able to download data sets from the internet and work through the problems. The book uses SPSS Version 11.0 and I had version 12.0. (I ...

Using SPSS for Windows and Macintosh: Analyzing and Understanding Data 9 reviews
Samuel Green, Neil J Salkind
Pearson Education, 2007
Good manual
Using SPSS is a good manual to navigate you through using SPSS. It is idiot-proof to follow if you just do what it says. Time-consuming to read the whole thing but good for picking out specific functions to learn. Would recommend this book. Includes a CD with data sets to use while following along with the reading.

lifesaver
It had been a difficult couple of years. I had more life changes than most people have in 30 years, and not the least was that I had moved three times. In the middle of it all, I took multivariate statistics, a graduate course that I didn't have all the prerequisites for. I loved the course, but wow, was it hard. The sheer volume of the work nearly flattened me. Then I had an emotional meltdown ...

SPSS for Psychologists: A Guide to Data Analysis Using Spss for Windows2 reviews
Nicola Brace, Richard Kemp, ...
Lawrence Erlbaum, 2000
A very handy and useful book
I wish I'd found this book earlier during my undergraduate years. SPSS for psychologists covers from the most basic topics to quite advanced (such as factor analysis and logistic regression). It is very easy to read, explains how to do various statistical operations in SPSS and how to interpret them. I came across a few errors, though, but they were minor and I highly recommend this book!
