Basic Statistics in Academic Research Using SPSS

By Joyzy Egunjobi

The fear of statistics, also known as statistical anxiety, is a common issue among university students. Factors contributing to this fear include math anxiety, conceptual difficulty, software phobia, and performance pressure. To overcome this fear, focus on the "why" of statistics, break it down into core concepts, find the right resources, practice making progress, seek help from professors, tutors, or classmates, and focus on understanding the general concepts rather than perfection. Breaking down the process into smaller steps and using clear, engaging resources can help overcome the fear. With the use of statistical software, this fear can be considerably minimized. This book is your stepping stone to a world of evidence-based research. By mastering basic statistics with SPSS, you will be able to transform raw data into compelling stories that support your research goals and contribute significantly to your field.
