Features: This book is a textbook that integrates statistical methods from multiple social sciences and the application of corresponding SPSS statistical software. The nature of science requires that a complete research must connect theory with practice, accurately describe the current state of things, grasp its inherent laws, and strive to predict its development trends. To adapt to the impact of the increasing popularity of computers and software on research methods in social sciences, this book addresses the shortcomings of traditional statistics textbooks that solely explain statistical principles and methods. It combines various multivariate statistical analysis methods with corresponding computer statistical software, integrating discussions of principles with case analyses, demonstrations, and instructions for statistical software use. It also specifically introduces the application of SPSS software, which is widely used in sociological research. The statistical methods introduced in this book are not particularly mysterious. Readers with a certain statistical foundation will find it easy to understand their purposes and basic principles through the book's explanations.
