This is the perfect companion for students who are learning to use the SPSS software to interpret and manage data. The Eighth Edition uses version 29 of the software and incorporates results from the 2022 General Social Survey (GSS) as a dataset used in examples throughout the book. In response to user feedback, the author has expanded the sections on ANOVA and chi-square. The GSS datasets and codebooks for use with the text are available on an accompanying website.
