How to guide: Survey Data Analysis for your Dissertation
SPSS workbooks for dissertation
students
These workbooks were designed to guide
sociology students through the sort of tasks that they might later develop into
dissertation work. Accordingly, they focus on skills students need in order
to work with a real world secondary dataset, including looking at published
sources, accessing data, weighting, selecting cases and data manipulation. For
more information about the content of the workbooks click on the information
button in the More… column, or simply download the workbook!
Each workbook is based round a research
question and ESDS dataset.
The materials were produced by a team
at the Centre for Census and Survey Research, University of Manchester as part
of an ESRC funded pilot project to increase use of secondary analysis in dissertation
research amongst undergraduates.
The team welcomes use of the materials
in learning and teaching. If only parts of the workbooks are used, the source
of the materials should be cited.
