e study guide for social psychology by cram101 textbook reviewsIt shows our data so we can visually inspect it. This tutorial quickly gets you started! We'll also point out some important tricks such as batch editing and styling tables and charts. This tutorial quickly makes things clear with some simple examples. We'll also show how to detect, set and deal with missing values in SPSS. This tutorial shows how to run and interpret a Kolmogorov-Smirnov test in SPSS with some simple examples. Working with SPSS becomes much faster and easier if you're aware of variable types and formats. This tutorial helps you to choose, obtain and interpret an effect size for each major statistical procedure. If a sample from this population shows a very different percentage, then we reject this null hypothesis. There's 4 types: This tutorial shows the easy way to do so and points out some nice alternatives as well. We'll point out some tricks, pitfalls and alternatives as well. This method also works correctly if you there's any missing values in your data. Since SPSS was acquired by IBM in 2009, it's officially known as IBM SPSS Statistics but most users still just refer to it as “SPSS”.These data may come from basically any source: scientific research, a customer database, Google Analytics or even the server log files of a website. SPSS can open all file formats that are commonly used for structured data such as For instance, our first record seems to contain a male respondent from 1979 and so on. A more detailed explanation on the exact meaning of our variables and data values is found in a second sheet shown below. It shows the metadata associated with the data. Metadata is information about the meaning of variables and data values. This is generally known as the “codebook” but in SPSS it's called the dictionary. So how to analyze your data in SPSS. Well, one option is using SPSS’ elaborate menu options.http://senecaconsulting.com/7strategy/multichem/assets/fck_upload_files/image/f1000-fdr-manual.xml

For instance, if our data contain a variable holding respondents’ incomes over 2010, we can compute the average income by navigating to D e scriptive Statistics as shown below. It holds a nice table with all statistics on all variables we chose. The screenshot below shows what it looks like. Creating output in SPSS does not change our data in any way; unlike Excel, SPSS uses different windows for data and research outcomes based on those data. For non SPSS users, the look and feel of SPSS’ Output Viewer window probably comes closest to a Powerpoint slide holding items such as blocks of text, tables and charts. Tables are usually copied in rich text format, which means they'll retain their styling such as fonts and borders. The screenshot below illustrates the result. Now, SPSS has a second option for running this (or any other) command: we can open a third window, known as the syntax editor window. Here we can type and run SPSS code known as SPSS syntax. For instance, runningLike so, SPSS users unfamiliar with syntax can still use it. But why use syntax if SPSS has such a nice menu. The basic point is that syntax can be saved, corrected, rerun and shared between projects or users. Your syntax makes your SPSS work replicable. If anybody raises any doubts regarding your outcomes, you can show exactly what you did and -if needed- correct and rerun it in seconds. For non SPSS users, the look and feel of SPSS’ Syntax Editor window probably come closest to Notepad: a single window basically just containing plain text. Following a typical project workflow, SPSS is great for SPSS has outstanding options for more complex operations as well. Other file formats it easily deals with include MS Excel, plain text files, SQL, Stata and SAS. Typical examples are creating means or sums as new variables, restructuring data or detecting and removing unlikely observations. SPSS performs such tasks -and more complex ones- with amazing efficiency.http://www.latgalesamatnieki.lv/files/f1000-service-manual.xml For getting things done fast, SPSS contains many numeric functions, string functions, date functions and other handy routines. Typical examples are demonstrated under Data Analysis. A real weakness of SPSS is that its charts tend to be ugly and often have a clumsy layout. A great way to overcome this problem is developing and applying SPSS chart templates. Doing so, however, requires a fair amount of effort and expertise. An overview of all commands and the options to which they belong is presented in Overview All SPSS Commands. Besides copy-pasting individual output items, all output items can be exported in one go to.pdf, HTML, MS Word and many other file formats. A terrific strategy for writing a report is creating an SPSS output file with nicely styled tables and chart. Then export the entire document to Word and insert explanatory text and titles between the output items. Let's now explore SPSS in some more detail, starting off with the Data Editor window. We'll present many more examples in the next couple of tutorials as well. Thanks for reading. However, this is a terrible practice and we'll explain why in a minute. So let's download and open bank.sav -partly shown below- and jump right in. I could first navigate to Upon doing so, a new SPSS window opens which is known as the Syntax Editor. It's recognized by the orange icon in its left top corner. However, we don't see the frequency distribution and bar chart we asked for. This is because we still need to run the command we just created. On doing so, a new window will open, containing our frequency table and barchart. This is an output window which we'll discuss in our next tutorial. So how to get syntax. First off, using the P aste button from the menus adds syntax to your syntax window. If you don't have a syntax window open yet, it'll open one for you. Options for opening a syntax window are Options to get the syntax you need are However, we'll get the exact same results if we run: So if you want to get real good -and real fast - with SPSS, start learning short syntax. This will take some practice but it will save you tons of time and effort in the longer run. The resulting syntax file has the.sps (for “SPSS syntax”) file extension and is a plain text file. When saving syntax in newer SPSS versions, something likeSome reasons for this are And then you realize you should have filtered out all respondents working in IT. Now you have to start all over again: remove the unwanted respondents and click your way through all the same menus and dialogs again.Doesn't it. Unfortunately, I see students having to do days of SPSS work all over again on a daily basis. Not working from syntax really is the very worst SPSS practice. So say I run those 10 tables and charts and I saved all syntax. Then I realize I should have filtered out all respondents working in IT. Ok. No problem. I'll just addThank you very much. For avoiding confusion, there's 2 Kolmogorov-Smirnov tests:This “given distribution” is usually -not always- the normal distribution, hence “Kolmogorov-Smirnov normality test”.By the way, both Kolmogorov-Smirnov tests are present in SPSS. I think their reaction times on some task are perfectly normally distributed. I sample 233 of these people and measure their reaction times. Now the observed frequency distribution of these will probably differ a bit -but not too much- from a normal distribution. So I run a histogram over observed reaction times and superimpose a normal distribution with the same mean and standard deviation. The result is shown below. Now, I could calculate the percentage of cases that deviate from the normal curve -the percentage of red areas in the chart. This percentage is a test statistic: it expresses in a single number how much my data differ from my null hypothesis. So it indicates to what extent the observed scores deviate from a normal distribution. Now, if my null hypothesis is true, then this deviation percentage should probably be quite small. That is, a small deviation has a high probability value or p-value. Reversely, a huge deviation percentage is very unlikely and suggests that my reaction times don't follow a normal distribution in the entire population. So a large deviation has a low p-value. As a rule of thumb, weSo if p don't believe that our variable follows a normal distribution in our population. Computationally, however, it works differently: it compares the observed versus the expected cumulative relative frequencies as shown below. This command runs both the Kolmogorov-Smirnov test and the Shapiro-Wilk normality test.So if I test 5 variables, my 5 tests only use cases which don't have any missings on any of these 5 variables. This is usually not what you want but we'll show how to avoid this. These data are a textbook example of why you should thoroughly inspect your data before you start editing or analyzing them. Let's do just that and run some histograms from the syntax below.But which ones are likely to be normally distributed? Let's run it. The chart holds the exact same data we just ran our test on so these results nicely converge. Regarding our research question: only the reaction times for trial 4 seem to be normally distributed. So both the Kolmogorov-Smirnov test as well as the Shapiro-Wilk test results suggest that only Reaction time trial 4 follows a normal distribution in the entire population. Further, note that the Kolmogorov-Smirnov test results are identical to those obtained from NPAR TESTS. For additional variables, try and shorten this but make sure you include Just follow the steps we discussed so far and you'll be good. Less fortunately, though,The reason seems to be the Lilliefors significance correction which is applied in newer SPSS versions. The result seems to be that the asymptotic significance levels differ much more from the exact significance than they did when the correction is not implied. This raises serious doubts regarding the correctness of the “Lilliefors results” -the default in newer SPSS versions. Converging evidence for this suggestion was gathered by my colleague Alwin Stegeman who reran all tests in Matlab. The Matlab results agree with the SPSS 18 results and -hence- not with the newer results. However, it is almost routinely overlooked that such tests are robust against a violation of this assumption if sample sizes are reasonable, say N ? 25. The underlying reason for this is the central limit theorem. Therefore,Unfortunately, small sample sizes result in low statistical power for normality tests. This means that substantial deviations from normality will not result in statistical significance. The test says there's no deviation from normality while it's actually huge. In short, the situation in which normality tests are needed -small sample sizes- is also the situation in which they perform poorly. It is very useful. I was just wondering though- why should we select missing pairwise rather than missing listwise. Apologies if I have missed this. Thank you again. This tutorial shows how to create nice and clean APA format tables with a simple trick. Read more. Instead, use MEANS and transpose the resulting tables. This tutorial guides you through. Read more. However, the default format is very inconvenient and doesn't meet APA standards. This tutorial shows 3 ways to create better tables. If assumptions are met, MEANS can be followed up by an ANOVA. This simple tutorial shows the easy way to do so and offers a Python script that processes one or many tables in one go. Read more. We'll demonstrate some cool SPSS tricks along the way. If statistical assumptions are met, these may be followed up by an independent samples t test. Read more. Now it's time to turn to some measures that apply to metric variables exclusively. The most important ones are the mean (or average), variance and standard deviation. Read more. The first step in doing so is creating appropriate tables and charts. This tutorial shows how to do so for dichotomous or categorical variables. We'll use some cool tricks for doing so. Read more. This approach is suitable for variables having identical value labels and comparable contents. We'll use some cool tricks along the way for getting the most out of our output. Read more.

The first section of this tutorial will provide a basic introduction to navigating the SPSS program. Cases are records of information on one or more variables. This tutorial discusses how Cases and Variables are oriented in the Data View window. It allows you to fine-tune statistical analysis and data manipulation in ways that would be tedious, difficult, or impossible to do through the drop-down menus. This tutorial covers the basics of understanding SPSS syntax. You can either create data in SPSS or import data into SPSS from a file. Creating data means that you will enter the variables and values manually into SPSS to create a new dataset. Importing data means that you will use an existing data file that someone has already prepared and simply load it into SPSS. We cover both data creation and data importation in the following sections. Also covered is the difference between row numbers (which are a part of the spreadsheet) and ID variables (which are a part of the dataset and act as case identifiers). They signify how your research was conducted, and dictate what types of analysis methods are appropriate. For this reason, it is important to know what variables are; how to define, compute, and recode them; and how to work with special types of variables, such as dates. This section of the tutorial will cover each of these topics. It also dictates what type of statistical analysis methods are appropriate for that data. This tutorial covers the variable types that SPSS recognizes. This tutorial covers how SPSS treats Date-Time variables, and also covers the Date and Time Wizard. This tutorial covers two different ways to define variable properties in SPSS, especially custom missing values and value labels for categorical variables.

Here's how (restrictions apply) SPSS makes statistical analysis accessible for the casual user and convenient for the experienced user. The Data Editor offers a simple and efficient spreadsheet-like facility for entering data and browsing the working data file. High-resolution, presentation-quality charts and plots are integral parts of the Base system. Much of the output from the Base system and Tables option takes the form of flexible pivot tables that you can modify quickly and copy directly into other applications. The Viewer makes it easy to organize and manage your tables and charts using a familiar tree structure. When you have questions about an item in a dialog box, a statistic in your output, or the steps needed to.accomplish a task, help is only a click or two away. With the Draft Viewer, you can create simple text output instead of interactive pivot tables. See the overview (Chapter 1) for a list of new features and an introduction to the Base system. This manual, the SPSS Base 11.0 User's Guide, documents the graphical user interface of SPSS for Windows. Complete information about using interactive graphics can be found in SPSS Interactive Graphics 10.0, which is compatible with release 11.0 of SPSS. Examples using the statistical procedures found in SPSS Base 11.0 are provided in the Help system, installed with the software. Algorithms used in the statistical procedures are available on the product CD-ROM. Beneath the menus and dialog boxes, SPSS uses a command language that can be used to create and run production jobs. Complete command syntax is documented in the SPSS 11.0 Syntax Reference Guide, which is included on the product CD-ROM and is available for purchase separately in print. The Help system contains brief syntax diagrams in addition to full help on the graphical user interface. It includes procedures for probit analysis, logistic regression, weight estimation, two-stage least-squares regression, anti general nonlinear regression. It includes procedures for general linear models (GLM), linear mixed models, variance components analysis, loglinear analysis, ordinal regression, actuarial life tables, Kaplan-Meier survival analysis, and basic and extended Cox regression. Compatibility The SPSS Base 11.0 system is designed to operate on computer systems running Windows 98, Windows 2000, Windows Me, or Windows NT 4.0.

Dick Bloom 5.0 out of 5 stars SPSS has been around for nearly twenty years and is not much changed from year to year; if it were, hundreds of thousands of experienced users would have to learn it all over again and the software would grow unpopular. I bought this guide to last year's edition 16.0 for a pittance. If I learned best through reading a text, this text would be more than adequate, since it features pictures illustrating the program's steps on every page. The combination book and CD are therefore all one needs to completely master SPSS, and buying last year's guide proves to be an extraordinary value for very little money.I was looking for something to extend my use of SPSS, to help me find some of the more obscure commands. This is basically a print-out of the Help that you can find through your SPSS program anyway. While it can sometimes be useful to have Help on paper, I'm not sure that this was worth my investment.This book is excellent and explained in brief detail each feature. The chapters are well organized.A plain wrap approach. The text is authoritative, coming from SPSS itself. A comprehensive explanation of version 13 of the Base. It does not teach statistics, per se. So you'd better come equipped with a reasonable background in it. But it shows how to perform considerable analysis on a data set. The book shows the user interface for inputting the data and getting results. The latter can be in tabular form or graphs. Parameters that can be measured include Cohen's Kappa, the McNemar-Bowker test, Cochran's, Mantel-Haenszel, Wilkes' lambda, Mahalanobis metric and Rao's V. Plus much more.This book is nice as it walks you through many of the features in the SPSS software package with screen-shots. Of course, it is set up for a PC user, which I am not, so not everything jives perfectly, but it doesn't degrade from the instruction. My only comment for buyers, is that as the title implies, it is a brief guide on how to use the software. Price tag is an ouch for a 200 page book, especially since this was not the only textbook for my course! November 29, 2019RoutledgeNovember 28, 2019RoutledgeDecember 6, 2019RoutledgeWhere the content of the eBook requires a specific layout, or contains maths or other special characters, the eBook will be available in PDF (PBK) format, which cannot be reflowed. For both formats the functionality available will depend on how you access the ebook (via Bookshelf Online in your browser or via the Bookshelf app on your PC or mobile device). Extensive use of four-color screen shots, clear writing, and step-by-step boxes guide readers through the program. Output for each procedure is explained and illustrated, and every output term is defined.

This package contains an icon called “Tutorial” in the Help Menu, which explains a step-by-step account of how to work in SPSS in very detailed format, with the help of case studies. It can be regarded as a Statistical Analysis guide. Sample files are the files which contain fictitious survey data. Through the Introduction, we generally get familiar with SPSS as it gives a step-by-step account of how to open a data file, conduct analysis and see the output. These include spreadsheet applications (such as MS Excel), database applications (such as MS Access) and text files to import in SPSS format data files. Reading data in the SPSS Tutorial explains the process of reading the data in a step-by-step manner. This data is stored in SPSS- format data files imported from various sources. It also tells us about how to handle missing data, how to add the variable labels, how to value labels for numeric variables and string variables, or how to use value labels for data entry. It also discusses defining the variable properties for categorical variables in a graphical manner. It also tutors on how to merge multiple data sources from various data formats without first saving each data source. In general, it tutors us about the basic handling of multiple data sources (including copying and pasting information between datasets). It mainly emphasizes the summary measures for categorical data and scale variables. It handles the different types of cross tabulation including simple cross tabulation, count vs.It also explains how to edit the charts. This can be understood with the help of examples of Pie Chart and Grouped Scatter Plot. This section mainly covers the methodology of observing the output and editing it with the help of Pivot Table Editor as per the requirement. This topic in the SPSS Tutorial details information about editing the syntax while programming in SPSS. It also tells us about how to open and run a syntax file. This topic in the SPSS Tutorial explains the table add-on module, which is especially useful in survey analysis and market research. Please try your request again later. Why did this happen.

However, while nothing new is added, the old stuff likely will stay valid for another couple of decades. Perhaps some people still find it useful. In November 2016, David Peplow has done a terrific job at creating a new design for my web projects. I am deeply grateful. These are things that are very tiresome to explain in writing and very easy toBut when you just have developed a basic idea of how the program works, this guide hopefully may be of some help. It places some emphasis on data handling and transformation, topics that are sadly neglected in most of the German books on SPSS for Windows. Statistical procedures, especially the more sophisticated ones, are treated here only superficially or (in most instances) not at all. For instance, psychologists will miss treatment of analysis of variance procedures, whereas economists will find nothing about time series analysis. Also, this guide says nothing about how to change charts interactively. Thus, this guide is in no way exhaustive and cannot function as a substitute for either the program's online help or the handbooks that are provided with the program. Users are urged to consult especially the handbooks for further detail. The use of menus is explicitly discouraged, with very few exceptions where the menus have some advantage over writing the syntax manually. Even in these cases, it is usually highly recommended that the command not be executed from the menu, but rather be pasted into the Syntax Window and executed from there. Those people who want to learn working with the menu system may consult some of the sources list below in the links section.
