Data Analysis with SPSS for Survey-based Research (eBook)

This book is written for research students and early-career researchers to quickly and easily learn how to analyse data using SPSS. It follows commonly used logical steps in data analysis design for research. The book features SPSS screenshots to assist rapid acquisition of the techniques required to process their research data.

Rather than using a conventional writing style to discuss fundamentals of statistics, this book focuses directly on the technical aspects of using SPSS to analyse data. This approach allows researchers and research students to spend more time on interpretations and discussions of SPSS outputs, rather than on the mundane task of actually processing their data.
