SPSS (Statistical Package for the Social Sciences) is one of the most widely available and powerful statistical software packages. It covers a broad range of statistical procedures that allow researcher to summarize data (e.g., compute means and standard deviations), determine whether there are significant differences between groups (e.g., t-tests, analysis of variance), examine relationships among variables (e.g., correlation, multiple regression), and graphical presentation of data (e.g., bar charts, line graphs). So the objective of this workshop is to provide a unique opportunity to learn how to use SPSS for Quantitative data analysis.
