When using SPSS, you might these hints helpful.

• To create a new data set, go to FILE and select NEW and DATA.

• To identify the variables, double-click at the top of the column.  From there you can enter the variable name, type and the number of decimals you want included.

• Once your data are entered, you can select the appropriate statistical analysis under the menu selection ANALYZE.  The selections are pretty obvious with the exception of the repeated measures ANOVA, which is located under GENERAL LINEAR MODEL.

Data Lay-out:

One-way ANOVA and Unpaired/Independent t-tests:

First column is the independent variable (grouping factor).

Second column is the dependent variable data

Remember that a one-way ANOVA is like a factorial analysis, with only one factor.

  REANOVA and Paired/Dependent t-tests:

Each column of data represents one condition.  For comparing 5 different conditions or treatments applied to the same group of individuals, the following lay-out would be used.

Where X is the score for A (individual ID) and 1 (condition).

  CORRELATION/ REGRESSION:

The lay-out for bivariate analysis should appear like this:
