A very useful book which includes good examples for my lessons. Texts and cases are to understand for my students.
good
George Argyrous’ book is an invaluable resource to students taking introductory methods courses where SPSS is used, and I had much success and positive feedback when I included it on the syllabi of my quantitative methods and political analysis courses. It is a strong text for instructors who need an engaging textbook that covers the topics that constitute the core elements of undergraduate and postgraduate quantitative methods courses in the social sciences.
A great advanced statistics book complete with all that is needed to perform all analyses in SPSS.
Too advance for my classes
Co Instructor chose a different text
A good resource which is up to date and accessible.
The book is useful in many ways, however, it is quite similar to other texts that are better structured (for example, Burns and Burns).
A good book for those who want to know a little more or practice in Stats.
useful for project students
This book offers a level of explanation on a par with Field's 'Discovering Statistics with SPSS' but is much more to the point with fewer tangents. The explanations are excellent and it doesn't shy away from using equations, thus it is a book to be recommended to the more confident students.
Nice introductary SPSS-textbook, which even has a small section about power. Nevertheless I felt that it did not really stand out in the crowd of intro-stats textbooks.
A good introductory book!
the book offers a a good introduction to the basic concepts and techniqhes of statistics. Very useful for students of health and social care sciences
Easy to use and helps students with statistical analysis required for post gaduate courses.
Plan to use this book in Spring 2012.
Its a fantastic book for those who are getting accustomed to the SPSS software. Easy reading and understanding. Helps one to move step by step into statistical analysis.
Statistics for Research has been adopted as a supplemental book for both undergraduates and postgraduates in management related disciplines, especially covering research methods into socio-economic issues.
I found the book is very handy for student who want to use SPSS, while it also provides enough depth for understanding the reasons behind the analysis.I recommend this book to my student and to everyone who have a plan to use SPSS, especially who have limited knowledge or have leaving class for very long time.I have no other words, than appreciate the writer and recommend student to read it.
Not sociological enough
The first five chapters of this book are particularly helpful because they cover areas that many books ignore but which are central to undergraduates getting started with SPSS, e.g. data entry, frequency tables, charts. I will recommend these chapter to my undergraduates; they are very helpfully presented. I will also recommend the book to my postgraduate students because the section on inferential statistics is comprehensive and includes helpful advice as to how to use statistical tests in SPSS.
