The latest edition of this best-selling textbook (published February 2001) has been completely updated to accommodate the needs of users of SPSS Release 10 for Windows.

As with previous editions, the authors provide a non-technical approach to quantitative data analysis and a user-friendly introduction to the widely used SPSS for Windows. They assume no previous familiarity with either statistics or computing, but take the reader step-by-step through the techniques, including:

• correlation
• simple and multiple regression
• multivariate analysis of variance and covariance
• factor analysis

The books also includes a comprehensive range of exercises for further practice and covers issues such as sampling, statistical significance, conceptualization and measurement, and the selection of appropriate tests.
