Introduction to SPSS Syntax - Here you can download a SPSS Dataset, a SPSS Syntax File and then watch our short presentation before start working your way thourgh the syntax. We believe that the best way for you to learn SPSS syntax is by practicing and we hope you have that opportunity here.
In order for your data analysis to be reproducible, you need to keep a record of all you did. Ideally, that means everything from reading the initial dataset to your published results. When you make a change to your data in Excel, for example, it is difficult to keep a record of what you did. As a result, someone else who starts from the original dataset will not be able to find the same results as you did. Doing data cleaning and data analysis using script is the perfect way to make your research reproducible.
SPSS Syntax here does not mean SPSS programming. We just want you to know that is easy to do anything in SPSS using Syntax, and get you comfortable with it. As such, this course is very introductory, we don't expect you to be good in SPSS or in programming in order to understand it. We do expect that you know a bit of SPSS; something like what we teach in the Introduction to SPSS workshop is enough.
