TODAY WE WILL:
• Discuss how to get SPSS – rent it!
• Go over basics of SPSS
• Go over some popular analyses based on following
examples of research questions:
1. Was there significant improvement in reading scores
between pretest and posttest?
2. Were there significant differences between groups in
reading scores?
3. Were there significant differences between groups in
Posttest reading scores while controlling for initial
Pretested ability?
4. Did group, pretested ability, and estimate IQ all
uniquely predict Posttest reading scores? 2
• Discuss YOUR OWN research questions.

ANALYSIS OF VARIANCE
• Analyze -> general linear model -> univariate

is .05 or less
