I created this mini-workshop because if you're anything like I was, you are sick and tired of being frustrated with determining which statistical tests to use for your study.
Back when I first learned SPSS as a graduate student 30 years ago, I had major trouble figuring out which statistical analysis to run given a specific research question. Then once I finally figured it out, I also had difficulty interpreting the results and writing it in APA format. I wasn’t doing well in my statistics class at all. The only thing that saved me from failing the class was my mother's passing in the middle of the semester. The professor gave me an incomplete, and I would have to retake the class in the spring.
I was given a second chance. I was panicking. I couldn’t rely on the professor for help because his office hours were taken up by scores of other students. So, I read a couple of step-by-step books I found on SPSS. I studied these books at least 10 hours a day during my 3 week winter break. I would do the exercises repeatedly until I knew them like the back of my hand. My hard work paid off. I got an A in my statistics class that spring. In fact, I became so good in SPSS and statistics, that a year later, my statistics professor made me the project manager of his 1.3 million dollar research grant. This grant paid for my tuition and provided me with a $15,000 stipend!
Sixteen years later, I leveraged my skills in SPSS and research to become the head of market research in the B2B division of a fortune 500 company. I receive questions about analyzing and interpreting data from both of students and professionals. However, it’s difficult to help people with analyzing their data when you are not at the same location. So, I decided to create a web site containing video tutorials on how to use SPSS.
Results have been phenomenal: SPSSVideoTutor.com has trained over 60,000 students and professionals on how to analyze their data and interpret their results. SPSSVideoTutor also licensed our video tutorials to Walden University, one of the largest online universities in the world.
I personally invite you to join me and other graduate students and professionals for my FREE Test Selection Workshop, where you’ll learn how to select the correct statistical tests with my guidance and support.
Before the workshop begins, you will see several video lessons and engagement exercises designed to familiarize you with the basic concepts and definitions necessary to choose the right statistical test.
You will learn how to research questions related to comparing groups, examing relationships, and predicting relationships between variables.
You will learn how to write your null and alternative hypotheses based on your research questions.
You will learn what independent and dependent variables are and how to identify them in your study.
You will learn how to identify nominal, ordinal, interval, and ratio variables.
You will learn when to choose t-tests, ANOVAs, correlations, regressions, chi-square, factor analysis, etc.
