MODULE 1: Getting Started with SPSS

INTRODUCTION TO SPSS

SPSS is a software package used for conducting statistical analyses, manipulating data, and generating tables and graphs that summarize data. Statistical analyses range from basic descriptive statistics, such as averages and frequencies, to advanced inferential statistics, such as regression models, analysis of variance, and factor analysis. SPSS also contains several tools for manipulating data, including functions for recoding data and computing new variables, as well as for merging and aggregating datasets. SPSS also has a number of ways to summarize and display data in the form of tables and graphs. There are various versions of SPSS ranging from version 16,17,18,19,20,21 and version 22 which is the latest version of SPSS but this tutorial is based primarily on version 20 of SPSS (at least in terms of the diagrams); however, don’t be fooled too much by version numbers because SPSS has a habit of releasing ‘new’ versions fairly regularly. There are few differences in these new releases that most of us would actually notice.
