SPSS Training: Tutorials
DataStep's free SPSS training tutorials and statistical selection guide are provided as part of our commitment to the education and research communities. The tutorials and statistical selection guide were originally developed as part of SPSS training sessions for a class in resarch methods in social work at California State University, Sacramento. The tutorials provide an introduction to data editing, management, and analysis using SPSS. The statistical selection guide provides help in choosing statistical tests based on the goal of your data analysis and the characteristics of the dependent and independent variables.
The following links will open SPSS training tutorials in Adobe Acrobat. You can also download the data sets used in the tutorials. The tutorials provide self-paced, step-by-step instruction in the basics of using SPSS® version 11.5. You will need to have Adobe Acrobat Reader and SPSS version 11.5 installed on your computer.
| We are in the process of preparing new versions of the tutorials for SPSS 14. Please check back periodically if you are interested in these new tutorials. |
