Welcome to the Companion Website for Statistics for Social Understanding: With Stata and SPSS by Nancy Whittier, Tina Wildhagen, and Howard. J. Gold. Statistics for Social Understanding introduces students to the way statistics are used in the social sciences: as a tool for advancing understanding of the social world. It is designed for introductory students in the social sciences, including those with little quantitative background, as it covers the conceptual aspects of statistics in depth even when the mathematical details are minimized. With coverage of statistical topics, a balanced approach to calculation, and directions on how to use statistical software, the book shows how data are analyzed to explore and answer exciting questions. To accommodate changing undergraduate courses, the text incorporates separate sections on using both Stata and SPSS that assume no previous experience with either program
This open-access Companion Website is designed to reinforce the concepts covered in Statistics for Social Understanding. You can review and enhance your understanding of each chapter using the interactive Flashcards, and Discussion Questions as well as access the datasets used in the Stata and SPSS sections of your textbook.
