Data & Analytics

SPSS

Correctly analysed data in SPSS, complete working files, and the confidence to rerun any procedure yourself.

Overview

What this service covers

SPSS is the workhorse of social-science research, and most universities expect scholars to use it. Yet it is rarely taught beyond the basics, and a great deal of time is lost clicking through menus without knowing which output matters. We help you use SPSS with purpose.

Data file set up properly

We set up your data file properly — variable names, labels, value codes, measurement levels and reverse-scored items — so every later step runs cleanly.

The right procedures

We run reliability (Cronbach's alpha), exploratory factor analysis, descriptives and the inferential tests your objectives require.

Signal, not noise

We show you which lines of the SPSS output to report and which to leave out — most output is noise.

APA-style tables

We convert the output into APA-style tables you can drop straight into your thesis.

Learn on your own file

On request, we work with you over screen-share on your own file, so you learn the procedure rather than just receive the result.

All working files

You receive the .sav data file, the .spv output file and the formatted tables — everything an examiner may ask to see.
