Recommended reading:
- Using SPSS for Windows: Analyzing and Understanding Data, by Samuel B. Green, Neil J. Salkind, and Theresa M. Akey. * Each chapter is on a different statistical technique. There is a description of the technique and examples of when it should be used, as well as step-by-step instructions for doing it in SPSS. A good review of the statistical methods, but not enough for beginners.
- Data Analysis with SPSS, by Stephen Sweet and Karen Grace-Martin. This is primarily a statistical text, with step-by-step instructions on how to complete each technique in SPSS. There is more background on the statistical issues involved in each technique and it is appropriate for beginners.
