Features: SPSS is one of the best statistical software packages, widely favored by users in various industries. To meet the needs of a broad readership for both introductory statistics and statistical software operation, this book breaks away from the traditional approach of "two separate tracks—statistical theory and software operation"—common in previous SPSS books, fully integrating the two. The book is divided into 15 chapters and is positioned as an introductory text for statistical software and statistics. Based on SPSS 12.0, it addresses the needs of beginners in statistics and novice SPSS users, with statistical theory as the main thread. It provides detailed explanations of interface operations, data management, statistical chart creation, statistical descriptions, and the principles and practical operations of common one-way statistical analysis methods in SPSS. The content fully covers the teaching scope of most professional undergraduate statistics courses in China and expands effectively on the powerful functions of SPSS. Each chapter includes references and review questions, with additional chapter summaries for chapters covering statistical theory. The book is written in an accessible yet engaging style, making it a rare and valuable reference combining statistical theory with SPSS operations. It can serve as a textbook for undergraduate and graduate students in various disciplines, as well as a general introductory guide for SPSS versions 10–12. Therefore, it is highly suitable as a reference for professionals in non-statistics backgrounds who need to use statistical methods, as well as for those who wish to learn SPSS from the ground up.
