The book contains some excellent discussion of statistics and research methodology alongside the operation of the tests, thus providing a completely equation free introduction to some fairly hair-raising statistics. - British Psychological SocietyThe book presents quantitative analysis of data in a way that is acceptable to all and leads the reader through the often feared statistical analysis in a careful, competent manner. It should be included in libraries of both colleges and universities as well as recommended to all students attempting data analysis. An exceptionally clear and instructive book. - Computer Education`This book is refreshingly different. It is a must for social science students and personnel professionals intending to undertake serious research in organisations.' - Journal of Occupational and Organisational Psychology (on the SPSS version)`I have looked at a number of books which combine the teaching of statistics with the teaching of a computer package. This is by far and away the best - clear, very readable.' - Paul Webley, University of Exeter (on the SPSS version)
