I know it's not SPSS, but AcaStat works great on the Mac. There's a free version that is limited. The interface looks a lot like SPSS. Worth looking at: http://www.acastat.com/universal.htm Michael Britt mich...@thepsychfiles.com www.thepsychfiles.com Twitter: mbritt On Apr 8, 2010, at

RE: [tips] Research Data Question

I am guessing this is happening with your Mac users who are using Parallels or Fusion to then run Windows in PC emulation. That slows down the system a lot (that is how I run SPSS, also). So, I see the question marks occasionally. What it means is this: SPSS knows that there is data there, but

Re: [tips] Do Jews form a race?

Jim Thanks for the links - and very reasonable comments. There appears to be virtually no research on race (for now, let me use the term ..) and behavior, as opposed to, say, culture and behavior. We can make the leap from "within-race/group" data to "between group" (it IS a leap), and Arthur

Re: [tips] Smart study

The increase in heritability with age has been reported previously, and has been known for some time, as Stephen notes. I find this literature a challenge to talk about in classes because of the "common sense" reaction that higher heritability means the environment is less important. Heritabili

Hi all, I have my Research Methods students doing their first SPSS assignments and as usual it has been truly a nightmare. :) The students that are working on MACs are having a horrible time. They have to open virtual windows and other stuff (I'm a PC gal and so I am clueless). I understand SPS

Hi I have to disagree that the debate has nothing to do with the teaching of psychology; that is, unless we do not plan to ever talk about race in our classes. And if we do talk about race, there is definitely no unanimity that Marc's brief summary is the correct scientific position to take at

Re: [tips] Do Jews form a race?

I have only scanned these posts, so hope I am not repeating old information. Some data is out there ... they do not answer categorically the 'race' vs 'non-race' question, but better than no data at all ... Basically, Jews from different countries are usually more similar to each other (using

"Jews in general?" "Conventional Jewish population?" Gosh, that sounds like an distorting stereotype to me. You're not talking about red hair; you're offering a red herring. You've been reading too much of Wikipedia. Amazing how on this list Wikipedia has been bashed as a legitimate sources
