Greetings!  I am a novice that is trying to find the way I would go
about analyzing data on SPSS.  I gave a pretest survey and a posttest
survey to an experimental group and a control group.  (It was the exact
same test given twice - but - the control group received one version

can someone please advise on this:
In using hierarchical multiple regression, i've tested for 2 and 3 way
interactions in my models. What I've discovered is a significant 3 way
interaction of a*b*c. This is fine, but the problem lies in

just a quick question for a research project I'm working on:
When doing hierarchical linear regression, when considering the final
model - step 4 (with all terms included), when only e.g., 1 term is
significant, does it mean that the other terms (which are not

My question relates to the way that SPSS goes about doing contrasts.
First let me mention that SPSS and SuperAnova do not give the same
output when doing contrasts. Also, I noticed that SPSS seems to give
the same output for a given contrast that is obtained by doing a

I'd like some advice on interpreting a hierarchical multiple
regression please.

Hello, I am trying to run stepwise linear regressions with spss 11 on a
mac (although I've the same problem using spss 14 on a PC).  I import
excel files into spss, transpose them and attempt to run the
regression.  I have done this for 10 files, for 3 the regression runs

I nearly don't know anything in SPSS, files are given to me and I need
to treat the datas in a program that I'm developing.
I would like to know if there is a way to export spss data files
completely, I mean the variables + their definition.

I know it's a basic question, but I couldn't get an answer from the www
resources.
Since inference is about estimating population parameters from a
sample, are correlation and khi-2 inference techniques or not ?

Can anyone help with this. I can not get the syntax to run correctly.

Subscale).

Can someone help me with the nested IF commands. This syntax will not run
and I can not determine why?

I used Preacher & Hayes (2004) macro to determine the indirect effects of a
mediating variable.  Now, from the results,  I have some significant
results.  However, I can't figure out which statistics to report?  The
confidence interval? The Z score?

Hello everyone I need help creating individual score reports from a data
set. If anyone can help me please let me knox and I will email more.

Is there a way to determine the numbers of cases in a file while inside a macro?
I am selecting a subset of data, creating an id using $casenum.  I need to create
a variable (I have called it !var, see loop) that tells me how many cases are in
the file.
