Sage Adventures in Social Research Data Analysis Using IBM SPSS Statistics 2018 Edition by Earl R. Babbie, William E. Wagner, Jeanne S. Zaino

The fully revised Tenth Edition of Adventures in Social Research: Data Analysis Using IBM (R) SPSS (R) Statistics offers step-by-step instruction on data analysis using the latest version (24.0) of SPSS and current data from the General Social Survey. Organized to parallel most introductory research methods texts, this text starts with an introduction to computerized data analysis and the social research process, then takes readers step-by-step through univariate, bivariate, and multivariate analysis using SPSS Statistics. The range of topics, from beginning to advanced, make Adventures in Social Research appropriate for both undergraduate and graduate courses._x000D_ Table of Contents :- _x000D_ Preface_x000D_ About the Authors_x000D_ PART I.
