Curriculum
Lecture 1 Course Introduction 03:52
In this lecture, an overview of the course is provided, including how to access the data files and the output files.

Section 1: Introduction to SPSS
Lecture 2 Introduction to SPSS 09:00
An introduction to SPSS is covered in this lecture.
The SPSS data files (for the entire course) are available under "downloadable materials" (see below) in this lecture. The file labeled "Data Files Descriptive Statistics in SPSS" contains the set of data files for the course.

Also, a pdf file of the results (the output file) is also available. The output file for this lecture is located below and is titled, "Introduction output"
All other output files are located within their respective lecture.

Lecture 3 Creating Value Labels for Groups 04:07
This lecture covers how to create value labels for different categories of a variable. In SPSS, numbers are required to be entered (in nearly all circumstances) to perform analyses. Value labels help us keep track of which group corresponds to a given number such as 1 = "male" and 2 = "female".

Lecture 4 How to Copy and Apply Value Labels Across Several Variables at Once 07:32
In this lecture, how to copy value labels to multiple variables at once is illustrated. Likert scales are also explained, including how to code them in SPSS.

Lecture 5 Inserting, Moving, and Deleting Variables in SPSS 06:20
In this video, how to insert, move, and delete variables is illustrated. Shortcut keys are also described (including the benefits of using them).
There is no output file for this lecture, as no SPSS output is produced.

Lecture 6 How to Insert One or More Cases into SPSS 02:20
In this video, how to insert one or more cases is illustrated. “Cases” in SPSS are the rows in the data file when the Data View window is selected.
There is no output file for this lecture, as no SPSS output is produced.

Lecture 7 How to Sort One or More Variables in SPSS 04:35
This video illustrates how to use the sort command in SPSS. The sort command is illustrated first on a single variable in SPSS; afterwards, the data set is sorted on two variables simultaneously. How to sort using both ascending (lowest values first) and descending (highest values first) order is shown.

Lecture 8 Modifying Default Options in SPSS 04:42
This video examines how to modify a number of different default options in SPSS, including font type, style, and size, decimal places, value labels, and gridlines in the Data View window.

Lecture 9 How to Change the Columns Displayed in the Variable View Window 01:20
In this video, we take a look at how to modify the columns that are displayed in the variable view window when SPSS is opened.

Lecture 10 How to Edit SPSS Tables 03:02
Lecture 11 How to Copy a Dataset 02:22
Lecture 12 How to Save an SPSS Output File as a PDF (for Printing) 02:07
In this video, we take a look at how to save an SPSS output file as a pdf file, which can help for printing two-sided documents.

Section 2: Creating Charts and Graphs in SPSS
Lecture 13 Creating a Bar Chart 03:25
How to create a bar chart in SPSS is covered in this lecture. Bar charts are typically created on categorical variables, such as gender, ethnicity, and so on. The bars of a bar chart are not touching (there are gaps in-between them) since the data are not continuous (they are categorical or discrete).

Lecture 14 Creating a Histogram 04:21
How to create a histogram in SPSS is covered in this lecture. Histograms are typically created on continuous variables, such as height, weight, high school GPA, and so on. Unlike the bar chart covered in the previous lecture, the bars of a histogram are touching (as long as there is a frequency of at least one for a given category) since the data are continuous.

Lecture 15 Boxplot in SPSS 05:48
In this video, we take a look at how to construct and interpret a boxplot in SPSS. Each of the 5 key values in the boxplot are interpreted (minimum, Q1 median, Q3, and maximum), including the effect of outliers.

Lecture 16 Creating a Stem and Leaf Plot 03:12
How to create a stem and leaf plot is covered in this lecture. Stem and leaf plots are interesting alternatives to histograms, as they convey the same information as a histogram, while having the advantage of also presenting the actual values in the graph.
Interesting note: Unlike the bar chart and histogram, notice that the graphics for the stem and leaf plot are a bit antiquated and could use some updating!

Lecture 17 Creating a Scatterplot 02:38
How to create a scatterplot is covered in this lecture. Scatterplots contain one variable on the X-axis and another variable on the Y-axis. It's a good idea to create a scatterplot when conducting a correlation coefficient. Correlation is a topic covered in our next course, "Inferential Statistics in SPSS - Step by Step".

Lecture 18 How to Create a Frequency Distribution Table in SPSS 03:10
How to create a frequency distribution table is illustrated in this lecture.

Lecture 19 Pie Charts 07:42
How to create a pie chart and modify chart options in SPSS is illustrated in this video.

Section 3: Central Tendency, Variability, z-Scores, and Correlation in SPSS
Lecture 20 Measures of Central Tendency: Mean, Median, and Mode 02:14
In this lecture, how to calculate the mean, median, and mode is illustrated using the frequencies procedure in SPSS.

Lecture 21 Measures of Variability: Standard Deviation and Variance 02:44
In this lecture, how to calculate the standard deviation and variance is illustrated. The measures are obtained first using the descriptives procedure and then the frequencies procedure in SPSS.

Lecture 22 The Best of both Worlds: The Mean and Standard Deviation 02:14
In this lecture, how to obtain the mean and standard deviation is illustrated using the frequencies procedure in SPSS.

Lecture 23 Obtaining Separate Means for Different Groups 05:52
In this lecture, the mean and standard deviation is obtained for separate groups of a categorical variable using the means procedure in SPSS.

Lecture 24 Finding z-Scores 04:11
In this lecture, how to calculate z scores on a variable is illustrated. After calculating z scores, the mean and standard deviation on the new z-score variable is found to show that the mean of the new variable is 0 and the standard deviation is 1 (within rounding error), which is a property of the z-score distribution.

Lecture 25 Correlation 11:59
In this video, we take a look at Pearson’s r correlation coefficient. We examine it first as a descriptive statistic (the topic of this class), then we take a look at it an inferential statistic (as a preview to our next course). The basic difference between these two approaches is the following: as a descriptive statistic, correlation describes the relationship between two variables, while as an inferential statistic, we test to see whether the correlation is significantly different from zero (in addition to describing the relationship).

Section 4: Statistics Videos I - Graphs and Central Tendency
Lecture 26 Mean, Median, and Mode (Measures of Central Tendency) 04:48
This video lecture covers the mean, median, and mode. First the mode is covered, including examples of two modes (bimodal) and three or more modes (multimodal). Next, finding the median is covered for both an even and odd number of values. After the median, how to calculate the mean (arithmetic average) is covered.

Lecture 28 Central Tendency and Skewed Distributions 03:34
In this video, we take a look at the relationship between the mean, median, and mode and asymmetrical (skewed) distributions. As the video illustrates, the order of the three measures of central tendency (where they fall on a number line in relation to each other) depends on whether a distribution is positively or negatively skewed.

Quiz 2 Quiz - Central Tendency and Skewed Distributions 3 questions
Lecture 29 Video Review of Quiz - Central Tendency and Skewed Distributions 02:17

Lecture 38 Normal Curve and z-Scores (68, 95, 99.7 Rule) 05:33
In this video, the normal distribution and z scores are covered. First, properties of the normal distribution are described, including how the mean, median, mode are equal to zero and how the normal distribution is symmetrical. Next the areas under the curve are illustrated, closing with a demonstration of the 68, 95, 99.7 rule for values that are 1, 2, and 3 standard deviations away from the mean.

Lecture 39 Properties of the z Score Normal Distribution 02:52
In this video lecture, we take a look at the properties of the z score normal distribution, including (1) that it is symmetrical, (2) that the mean, median, and mode are all equal to zero, and (3) that the standard deviation is equal to 1.

Lecture 40 Video Review of Quiz - Properties of the z-Score Normal Distribution 02:23
This video reviews the answers to the quiz, Properties of the z-Score Normal Distribution.

Lecture 41 Solving for z-Scores 04:08
In this video lecture, z scores are covered, including how to solve for z scores for a number of different examples. Also illustrated is how the z score indicates the number of standard deviations a value is from the mean. For example, a z score of 1.5 indicates that a value is 1.5 standard deviations above the mean.

Quiz 6 Solving for z-Scores 5 questions
Lecture 42 Video Review of Quiz - Solving for z-Scores 03:38
Lecture 43 Solving for X Given a z-Score 04:47
In this video, we take a look at how to solve for X given a z score, mean, and standard deviation. This not only is covered in many statistics texts, but is a very common procedure that is used in score reporting for standardized tests, such as IQ tests, the SAT, and so on. In creating these types of test scores, standard test companies have a z score for each test taker and then find their X value (for example, IQ score) using a certain mean and standard deviation (a popular one for IQ tests: mean = 100, standard deviation = 15).

Quiz 7 Solving for X Given a z-Score 5 questions
Lecture 44 Video Review of Quiz - Solving for X Scores Given a z-Score 04:13
