On-line SPSS intros and tutorials

[Page last updated 19 October 2017]
There are a great many sites with intros, tutorials and help. The list is constantly changing. Below is a selection of those I think you will find most useful. They range from beginner level to more advanced. All are in English except one, which is in French (and very good at that).
Wesleyan University (Connecticut) has a site:
Passion Driven Statistics and also an interesting thesaurus showing respective syntax from each side by side for the same tasks: Translation Syntax (SPSS, Stata, SAS, R and Python)

Statistical ideas and techniques
Statistics Learning Centre has nothing to do with SPSS, but it comprises a set of short video clips for users with little or no knowledge (or even fear) of statistics. This superb series is aimed at students who lack a grounding in basic statistical concepts and techniques. The clips explain basic statistical concepts in simple non-technical language and can be easily understood, not just by the business and finance students for whom they were originally written, but even by students in sociology, social work and the like. Anyone who can’t follow them should perhaps not be undertaking a course at any level in any discipline, let alone one designed for postgraduates and beginning researchers in the social sciences. The narration is clear, the explanations gentle, the graphics helpful and vibrant, and the examples relevant to everyone, especially if you like chocolate!
If you have a sense of humour, take a look at what famous statisticians have said about statistics on:
Famous statistician quotes.
Laerd Statistics is based on SPSS and is aimed at students and teachers. It's very reasonably priced (in $$, ££ or €€) for one to six months access to materials on the site, but before signing up, you can browse through the statistics notes which are applicable to any similar data.
Books
By far the best book combining statistics and SPSS (but nothing on survey analysis) is Andy Field
Discovering Statistics Using SPSS with its brilliant personal website Statistics Hell with drop down menus for tutorials and handouts. Many more are listed on the following pages:
Highly recommended SPSS textbooks (Buy your own copy of one of them)
On-line SPSS textbooks (Four really good freebies)
SPSS textbooks worth a look (Get library to buy or buy to share)
Textbooks requested or awaiting review
e-Books
Rapid advances in technology (and increasing cost of printed books) means that many books are now available in e-book format or have freely accessible companion websites. Some of these are available as Kindle books from Amazon. One of the best books for beginners, written in very friendly and chatty style, is:
Keith McCormick and Jesus Salcedo with Aaron Poh
SPSS for Dummies
Wiley (3rd edition, 2015)
For more advanced work, try
On-line resources
This list is getting rather long and entries could do with being ranked or split (as per the SPSS textbooks page). When I have time I'll go through them and allocate stars, but they wouldn't be in the list unless I'd already picked them out.
SPSS for the Classroom: the Basics
Social Science Computing Cooperative, University of Wisconsin, Madison
Clear, concise and easy to follow: aimed at absolute beginners. Impressive: uses release 23
What is SPSS 20 for Windows?
(Paula Turnbull and Sarah King-Hele (2014) UK Data Service, University of Essex and University of Manchester)
Well-written introductory booklet using data from the British Social Attitudes Survey, 2011: also covers hierarchical data using the English Housing Survey, 2011-2012: Household Data. Examples mainly use the drop-down menus from the GUI, but also covers some syntax.
Raynald's SPSS Tools Raynald Levesque's site (one of the best)
Getting started with SPSS (Open University)
Previous set of Interactive on-line tutorials (cleverly designed by Volker Patent, demonstrating menus and some statistical procedures) has been replaced. Current tutorials use SPSS 14 and the GUI rather than syntax and are aimed mainly at psychology.

SPSS Statistics Essential Training—Welcome is a brief intro to the whole set. You can have a free 7-day trial, but after that, you may have to pay.
Student User Guide to SPSS
This introductory guide by Dan Flynn is really for biology students, but it’s nicely written and easy to follow. It uses GUI rather than syntax, and you can skip the science bits, but still get a feel for SPSS. I think he’s now moved to Zurich as the other links to Barnard College don’t work.
SPSS in 60 pages
This handy little booklet covers the whole process of designing and running a survey. Although it's a plug for SPSS products, it's a useful prelude to the more detailed approaches in textbooks, and is clearly derived from intensive and prolonged experience of conducting and analysing surveys.
Data Handling Using SPSS 19 (2014)
Authored by Laine Ruus, EDINA and Data Library, University of Edinburgh, Edited by Robin Rice and Pauline Ward August 2014. Based on material first written by Joan Corbett, National Centre for Social Research as part of the Research Data MANTRA (Management Training) course. MANTRA is a free online course designed for researchers or others who manage digital data as part of a research project. Very impressive: check it now.

Easy-to-follow tutorials based on syntax rather than GUI
Using SPSS and PASW
A nice little Wiki-book containing a set of mini-tutorials "by beginners for beginners" using a 2006 survey of genetic counsellors. As the authors themselves state, "This book is a rudimentary introduction to the use of SPSS for basic statistical analysis. The book is written with a focus on social scientific analysis in mind (particularly Sociology). Part I covers basic operations within SPSS, from installing it to manipulating data. Part II illustrates how to do a variety of basic statistical tests."
Tutorials for Students
("Solutions for Education" on the IBM SPSS website ) This comprehensive series of in-depth video tutorials developed at Central Michigan University for SPSS 9 takes you step-by-step through the fundamentals of using IBM SPSS Statistics. The videos are all in *.MOV format and won't play with Windows Media Player, but they do work with Quicktime or any other software which supports *.MOV format. Don't worry if it's an old version of SPSS: it's the process and logic which matter.

The Powermutt Project
(Prof John Korey, California State Polytechnic University, Pomona)
Politically-Oriented Web-Enhanced Research Methods for Undergraduates — Topics and Tools Resources for introductory research methods courses in political science and related disciplines
The POWERMUTT Project is a cross between an introductory political science
research methods textbook and an online resource for teaching and learning such
methods. It includes:
- Topics. Each topic is equivalent to a short chapter in a traditional textbook.
- Tools. These are brief step-by-step tutorials for carrying out specific techniques. At present, the Tools described are some of those found in IBM® SPSS® Statistics (Version 18), a leading software package for statistical analysis.
- Datasets and codebooks. Data, and codebooks describing them, on public opinion, the American states, the U.S. Congress, and the countries of the world.
- Links to other sites providing additional information about research methods.
Compared to traditional textbooks, POWERMUTT offers several important
advantages, including:
- Flexibility. Your instructor may have decided to adopt the entire POWERMUTT site as the main course "textbook," or to use just a small portion of the site's resources as supplementary material.
- Interactivity. Want to see exactly how a table or graph was generated? With POWERMUTT PUPs (Pop Up Protocols), the answer is just a click away. Just as close is additional information on other resources within POWERMUTT or elsewhere on the Web.
- Affordability. In fact, it's free!
