Features: This textbook is the essential read for SPSS (Statistical Package for Social Science) users. It begins with examples of questionnaire design, then guides the correct application of SPSS statistical techniques for questionnaire processing, data coding, data statistics, and result analysis. Therefore, this book serves as a quick guide for SPSS beginners to get started and a reference for SPSS users to "set the benchmark" during data analysis. The first 12 chapters cover the most commonly used basic statistical methods in SPSS, while chapters 13 and beyond introduce advanced statistical methods, specialized statistics, and techniques such as correspondence analysis and conjoint analysis. These knowledge points are both practical and sufficient for quantitative analysis and research in the domestic field. Although SPSS versions are updated almost every year (adding some modules and functions), the core statistical commands and dialog box formats remain consistent with older versions. This book has been revised based on this principle, making it compatible with various versions of SPSS. The book strives to be a high-quality resource for using SPSS for data statistical analysis, making it a long-term recommended textbook for majors such as sociology, economics, psychology, medicine, statistics, marketing, and management. It can also serve as a self-study guide for SPSS for students in non-computer-related fields. Additionally, this book is also used as a textbook for the SPSS statistician qualification certification. A CD-ROM is included with the book, containing four appendices with content such as answers to chapter exercises, program data examples, and alternative data input methods.
