The GSS dataset was weighted by the variable (wtss) that is provided by the National Opinion Research Center at the University of Chicago. There are also exercises at the end of each chapter for further practice and more exercises and teaching modules are on the Teaching Resources page of the Social Science Research and Instructional Center (SSRIC) website. Each chapter has instructions that guide you through a series of problems, as well as graphics showing you what your screen should look like at various steps in the process. It can be used as a text in a class or by those working independently.
This book is intended for those who want to learn the basics of SPSS.
