Summary

Everything a student needs to learn statistics starting from the basics and progressing onto sophisticated statistical modelling. A genuine one-off that uses humour, and the quirks of the everyday, to bring statistics to life and to make it accessible.

Discovering Statistics Using IBM SPSS Statistics Summary

Discovering Statistics Using IBM SPSS Statistics by Andy Field

With its unique combination of humour and step-by-step instruction, this award-winning book is the statistics lifesaver for everyone. From initial theory through to regression, factor analysis and multilevel modelling, Andy Field animates statistics and SPSS software with his famously bizarre examples and activities.

Features:
Flexible coverage to support students across disciplines and degree programmes
Can support classroom or lab learning and assessment
Analysis of real data with opportunities to practice statistical skills
Highlights common misconceptions and errors
A revamped online resource that uses video, case studies, datasets, testbanks and more to help students negotiate project work, master data management techniques, and apply key writing and employability skills
Covers the range of versions of IBM SPSS Statistics.

All the online resources above (video, case studies, datasets, testbanks) can be easily integrated into your institutions virtual learning environment or learning management system. This allows you to customize and curate content for use in module preparation, delivery and assessment.

About Andy Field

Andy Field isProfessor of Quantitative Methodsat the University of Sussex. He has published widely (100+ research papers, 29 book chapters, and 17 books in various editions) in the areas of child anxiety and psychological methods and statistics. His current research interests focus on barriers to learning mathematics and statistics. He is internationally known as a statistics educator. He has written several widely used statistics textbooks includingDiscovering Statistics Using IBM SPSS Statistics(winner of the 2007 British Psychological Society book award),Discovering Statistics Using R, andAn Adventure in Statistics(shortlisted for the British Psychological Society book award, 2017; British Book Design and Production Awards, primary, secondary and tertiary education category, 2016; and the Association of Learned & Professional Society Publishers Award for innovation in publishing, 2016), which teaches statistics through a fictional narrative and uses graphic novel elements. He has also written theadventranddiscovrpackages for the statistics software R that teach statistics and R through interactive tutorials. His uncontrollable enthusiasm for teaching statistics to psychologists has led to teaching awards from the University of Sussex (2001, 2015, 2016, 2018, 2019), the British Psychological Society (2006) and a prestigious UK National Teaching fellowship (2010). Hes done the usual academic things: had grants, been on editorial boards, done lots of admin/service but he finds it tedious trying to remember this stuff. None of them matter anyway because in the unlikely event that youve ever heard of him itll be as the Stats book guy. In his spare time, he plays the drums very noisily in a heavy metal band, and walks his cocker spaniel, both of which he finds therapeutic.
