USING SPSS

In order to implement the techniques that you learned in Chapter 14, you would need to do either of two things: learn the underlying formula for each technique and apply your data to it, or use computer software to analyse your data. The latter is the approach chosen in this book for two main reasons. • It is closer to the way in which quantitative data analysis is carried out in real research nowadays. • It helps to equip you with a useful transferable skill. You will be learning SPSS for Windows, which is the most widely used package of computer software for doing this kind of analysis. It is relatively straightforward to use. We will be continuing to refer to the techniques introduced in Chapter 14 and will continue to use the gym survey as an example. This chapter largely operates in parallel with Chapter 14, so that you can see the links between the techniques learned there and the use of SPSS to implement them.

Note: I will upload separate files and contents to be covered  for this Chapter.
