This text is an ideal supplement to traditional introductory and intermediate-level statistics textbooks. Divided into eight chapters, this book’s first two chapters deal with the basic mechanics of using the PASW program (formerly SPSS). Each of the remaining chapters focuses on a particular class of statistics. In addition to showing how to enter data and obtain results, this book explains how to select appropriate statistics and present the results in a form that is suitable for use in a research report in the social or behavioral sciences. New to this edition: The sixth edition brings with it the new name of the software: PASW Statistics. It includes all new screenshots and the renaming of SPSS to PASW throughout the text. Also new: Chapter 7 (Nonparametric Inferential Statistics) has been completely revised because SPSS, Inc. revised the Nonparametric Tests command for Version 18.0 of PASW Statistics.

If you are using an earlier version of SPSS, you can use the fifth edition of How to Use SPSS: A Step-by-Step Guide to Analysis and Interpretation (Cronk, 2008).
