SPSS is, essentially, a visually-driven program, but most texts rely primarily on a verbal approach to describe its use. A Visual Approach to SPSS for Windows is the first text of its kind to employ "visual sequencing" to teach students how to use SPSS. This approach presents screen shots of SPSS windows combined with instructions that describe the sequence of each action needed to implement a procedure. Students find it easy to adapt the example shown in the book to their own analyses. In addition to describing how to run statistical procedures and interpret the output, the text also provides a brief discussion of the rationale underlying use of each statistical procedure and assumptions underlying the procedure. Additional features include detailed instructions for inspecting and interpreting output, examples of the format for reporting outcomes of statistical tests, and end-of-chapter exercises to test for mastery of the procedures that were described.
