ABSTRACT

Startup procedures for PASW will differ slightly, depending on the exact configuration of the machine on which it is installed. On most computers, students can start PASW by clicking on Start, then clicking on Programs, then SPSS, Inc., then PASW. On many installations, there will be a PASW icon on the desktop that they can double-click to start the program. In the PASW data window, columns represent variables and rows represent participants. The previous data window can be changed to look like the-screenshot below by clicking on the Value Labels icon. Loading and saving PASW data files works in the same way as most Windows-based software. Under the File menu, there are Open, Save, and Save As commanyds. The majority of the available statistical tests are under the Analyze menu. This menu displays all the options available for students version of the PASW program.
