Recensioner i media

I really appreciate the practical, step-by-step process of inputting an analysis into SPSS (namely, “which variable goes into which box?”) and interpreting the output (“which table is actually most important in the 9 tables that SPSS has spat out to me? Which number do I need to look at here? What does this other number mean?”). I feel like no other textbook does that as well as ‘SPSS for Psychologists’.
