Introduction to SPSS Statistics in Psychology, 6^th edition, provides students with a straightforward and trusted way of learning to carry out statistical analyses and use SPSS with confidence. This edition is fully updated to incorporate the latest version of SPSS Statistics and covers the same wide range of statistical tests that made the previous edition such an essential guide. Clear diagrams and screenshots from SPSS version 22 make the text suitable for beginners while the broad coverage of topics ensures that students can continue to use it as they progress to more advanced techniques.

For each statistical test, the text discusses:

·    What the test is used for

·    When you should and shouldn’t use it

·    Data requirements and any problems in usage

·    Step-by-step direction on how to carry out the test, using colour screenshots and labelled guidance on each part of the process

·    How to interpret and report the output

·    ‘At a glance’ summary of steps taken to do each test

The step-by-step guides make this text suitable for students to use alongside lectures or independently when needing to get to grips with SPSS Statistics.

This book is supported by a companion website featuring a range of resources to help students in their studies.  Self-test questions, additional datasets plus handy quick guides to carrying out tests can all be found at www.pearsoned.co.uk/howitt
