This book is printed on acid-free paper.

This book was written for those learning introductory statistics or with some basic statistics knowledge who want to use IBM SPSS Statistics software to manage data and/or carry out basic statistical analyses. It can also be a useful tool to gain an understanding of how SPSS Statistics software works before going on to more complicated statistical procedures. This volume is an ideal supplement for a statistics or research methods course. Although it can be used with any research methods or statistics book or materials, this book was tailored to complement all editions of Investigating the Social World, by Russell K. Schutt, and Social Statistics for a Diverse Society, by Chava Frankfort-Nachmias and Anna Leon-Guerrero (latest editions published in 2018 and 2017, respectively). It can also be used as a guide for those working with basic statistics on their own. The book provides information for users about some of the important mechanics of SPSS Statistics operating procedures for simple data management along with accessible introductory instructions to statistical operations.
