Any Tipsters out there care to recommend a text/workbook for introducing
students who have already taken one course in statistics to the use of SPSS
for Windows and/or know of a text that uses version10.0? I'll be glad to
compile results for the list.
TIA, Bev

A couple of months ago a tipster entioned that there was a documentary on PBS
on the Kitty Genovese story. I tried taping the documentary that night, but
was unsuccessful. It was not playing in our area. Was anyone able to tape it

Cohen's Kappa (as far as I understand it) will be OK if you want to lump all
the data into "agree" and "disagree" categories. But if you are interested in
looking at the particular 32 behaviors and speculating as to why instructors
and students agree for some behaviors but not others, I believe

I'm not sure why I'm sending you this. It just seems like such a silly
story, I couldn't resist.

Yes, for heaven's sake, let's change that disgusting name and along with it
some other deeply offensive ones like:

Bev,
If you are looking for a short "how to" book for students, I would take a
look at "A simple guide to SPSS for Windows" by Kirkpatrick and Feeney from
Wadsworth. They include instructions for versions 8.0, 9.0 and 10.0. I am
also interested in other suggestions.

I suggest lowering the number of comparisons by doing correlations to
see which of the 32 questions are highly related. Then combine or delete
items. Or do a factor analysis and make larger conceptual factors out of
the 32 items. I think 32 separate analyses are probably too much to be

Well, I think that they should keep the animal motif. Perhaps a fish that is
common in the area.
