SPSS Demystified: A Step by Step Approach, 2/e (Paperback)

For courses in Statistics and Research Methods.

Student Friendly, Step-by-Step Approach.  Designed to be hands-on with the user performing the analyses alongside on their computer as they read through each chapter.

Without question, statistics is one of the most challenging courses for students in the social and behavioral sciences. Enrolling in their first statistics course, students are often apprehensive or extremely anxious toward the subject matter. And while SPSS is one of the more easy-to-use statistical software programs available, for anxious students who realize they not only have to learn statistics but also new software, the task can seem insurmountable. Keenly aware of students’ anxiety with statistics (and the fact that this anxiety can affect performance), Ronald Yockey has written SPSS Demystified: A Step-by -Step Guide to Successful Data Analysis, 2/e.  Through a comprehensive, step-by-step approach, this text is consistently and specifically designed to both alleviate anxiety toward the subject matter and build a successful experience analyzing data in SPSS.

統計學和研究方法課程專用。以學生友善、逐步操作的方式設計，讓使用者在閱讀每一章節時能夠在電腦上進行分析。

毫無疑問，統計學是社會和行為科學學生中最具挑戰性的課程之一。初次修讀統計學課程的學生通常對這個主題感到擔憂或極度焦慮。儘管SPSS是一個相對容易使用的統計軟體，但對於意識到他們不僅需要學習統計學，還需要學習新軟體的焦慮學生來說，這項任務似乎是不可逾越的。為了充分了解學生對統計學的焦慮（以及這種焦慮可能影響學習成績的事實），Ronald Yockey撰寫了《SPSS解密：成功數據分析的逐步指南，第2版》。通過全面、逐步的方法，本書旨在減輕對統計學的焦慮，並在SPSS中建立成功的數據分析經驗。
