Introducing Statistics for Social Research: Step-By-Step Calculations and Computer Techniques Using Spss.

"Introducing Statistics for Social Research" describes when to apply, and how to calculate, a wide selection of statistical procedures commonly used in the social sciences. Keeping statistical symbols and formulae to a minimum, and with simple examples, this book: assumes no previous knowledge of statistics of computing; includes a concise introduction to the program SPSS, with details of the different versions available; describes a wider range of tests than found in other introductory texts; and contains a comprehensive range of exercises with answers. "Introducing Statistics for Social Research" should provide an introductory statistics text for first- and second- year social science students. Duncan Cramer is also author of "Personality and Psychotherapy" (1991), and co-author, with Alan Bryman, of "Quantitative Data Analysis for Social Scientists" (1990).
