Best Practices in SPSS
(Indiana University Workshop in Methods, 2025-03-07) Klein, Neela; Ray, Elizabeth
SPSS is a common data analysis program for work in Social Sciences. It offers a point of access for data cleaning, description, and analyses in a user-friendly manner. Different from programs like R that require coding, SPSS provides a “point and click” interface that allows you to use the program intuitively. Behind the scenes of this “point and click” interface, though, SPSS can provide, generate and execute code FOR YOU, making it an accessible option for researchers aiming to improve transparency and replicability of their analyses. SPSS is a powerful and approachable tool for anyone looking to view, describe, clean, edit, or analyze data with simple to complex statistical analyses. The goal of this workshop is to provide an accessible, applied, and practical understanding of how to use SPSS. The workshop will begin with a description of the software including a detailed map of how to interact with the software, how to view previously collected data, how to subsect data and create composite variables, and how to create both descriptive visuals of data. We will cover how to execute and interpret various statistical analyses (e.g. ANOVAs, correlations, and regressions). The workshop will include both the point and click method of interacting with SPSS as well as cover how to generate and work with syntax (i.e. SPSS code). Though not required, to make the most of your attendance, arrive with the SPSS software (provided for free for IU faculty, students, and staff) already downloaded.
