In this comprehensive introduction to SPSS version 16, Jeffery Aspelmeier and Thomas Pierce make potentially complicated procedures and concepts easy to understand, easy to complete, and fun to work with. "SPSS: A User-Friendly Approach" goes beyond providing instructions on the mechanics of conducting data analysis and develops a student's conceptual and applied understanding of quantitative techniques. Students are taught not only how to complete a procedure within SPSS but also how to ensure that the results of the procedure are statistically meaningful.
