Data in SPSS can be viewed in two different ways: data view and variable view. The data view allows the user to look at the entire data set, with each row showing a different observation, and each column representing a different variable. Another way to view the data is to use the variable view.
This manual was written by members of the Statistical Consulting Service as an introduction to SPSS 22. It is designed to assist new users in familiarizing themselves with the use of SPSS. This document only discusses some basic data visualization and statistical analysis procedures.
