Description

In this course, you’ll learn everything you need to know for successfully completing data analysis projects in SPSS (“IBM SPSS Statistics”).Whether you’re a Bachelor’s or Master’s student working on your thesis or a professional in market research, this course will show you how to get things done in SPSS the right way.This starts off with mastering some fundamentals such asthe basics, tips & tricks for the data editor, syntax and output windows;how to paste, run, edit & save SPSS syntax and why even do so in the first place;how to screen your data file and fix any issues you may encounter?Most other SPSS courses completely ignore these fundamentals and use only nicely prepared, problem-free data files. Sadly, this doesn’t prepare you for working with real-life data because these usually contain issues such asmissing valuesstring variablesoutliersreverse coded variableslong variable names and absence of variable and/or value labels.In this course, you’ll quickly learn how to detect and fix any data complications the right way before you proceed to the actual data analyses.After this data preparation section, I’ll cover the 5 most sought-after statistical analyses (the “big 5 statistical tests”) which are1. the chi-square independence test2. the independent samples t-test3. ANOVA (analysis of variance)4. (Pearson) correlations5. multiple linear regression analysis.You’ll learn how to run, interpret and report each of these tests correctly and completely. In contrast to most other courses, I’ll also coverwhich test is suitable for which research question;how to evaluate if you meet the assumptions required for each test;which effect size measures are applicable with Cohen’s (1988) rules of thumb for small, medium and large effectshow to visualize the major trends in your data with charts.After successfully running some test(s), you may need to report your results in APA style. In this course, you’ll learn how to create perfect APA tables with minimal time and effort by usingsome handy SPSS tools & tricks for getting the right table contents and layout;Excel or Googlesheets for styling your tables (numeric formats, alignment, row heights);WORD or GoogleDocs for column widths, titles and final reporting.Are you looking for the one course that shows how to deliver outstanding SPSS work with minimal time and effort?Look no further.See you in the course!Ruben (founder, SPSS tutorials)
