spring Posted September 13, 2012 Report Share Posted September 13, 2012 Hi everyone, I am working on some data analysis using SPSS. I am pretty new to this and I am not sure if I am doing my analysis correctly or how to interpret the results properly from the output. I have been going through some books and tutorials. I was wondering if there is anyone here who has experience/expertise in statistical analysis using SPSS who can help me out. I would really appreciate any help. I think it might be best if you can PM me with an email ID and I can send you a sample data file that I am using or even the output file that I have from what I have done so far so that you can have a better idea of what I am looking at. Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A-Stark Posted September 13, 2012 Report Share Posted September 13, 2012 I think you'd be better off checking whether your school offers a statistical consulting service, which may be free-of-charge for students and faculty. Generally speaking this kind of advice isn't free, unfortunately. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brainz Posted February 4, 2013 Report Share Posted February 4, 2013 the problem is that SPSS gives you so much stuff but really all your sentence needs is like an F value and a p-value to make your point. so think about the type of analysis you are doing. it's really easy to get carried away with SPSS. i could do 20 diff analyses and give you back 20 pages of output. take a step back and ask yourself what you want to compare and then test it. Are you comparing one variable and how it is different across groups (then use regular ANOVA)? Are you comparing multiple dependent variables (then use a MANOVA)? cross ref with a textbook regarding the outputs - so for SPSS, check out Andy Field's book which can help you decipher those bloody output analyses you get when you do a MANOVA.

nauru Posted February 4, 2013 Report Share Posted February 4, 2013 OP, will you be giving due credit to the person who helps you with this? Most would agree that interpretation of statistical results is a pretty substantial component of a paper... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
