5. Module: ANOVA- MANOVA, ANCOVA, MANCOVA, T-test, Correlation and Regression Analysis

Welcome to the self-learning module on SPSS: Statistical Analysis. This material is
meticulously designed to guide you through the powerful capabilities of SPSS software,
equipping you with the essential skills needed for statistical analysis. Whether you are a
beginner or seeking to deepen your understanding, this module will provide a structured,
hands-on approach to mastering SPSS.
The module covers both theoretical and practical aspects of statistical analysis. You'll begin
with a comprehensive introduction to statistical techniques, including ANOVA, MANOVA,
ANCOVA, t-tests, correlation, and regression analysis. Each concept is presented with clarity,
highlighting its purpose, application, and significance in research.
Through the practices section, you'll have the opportunity to apply these techniques directly in
SPSS. Step-by-step exercises will enable you to navigate the SPSS interface, input data, and
perform analyses confidently. By engaging with these hands-on activities, you'll develop
practical skills in interpreting results, assessing statistical assumptions, and drawing
meaningful conclusions from data.
This module emphasizes not only understanding the statistical methods but also appreciating
their relevance across various research contexts. Topics such as normality assumptions,
interaction effects in two-way ANOVA, and the incorporation of covariates in ANCOVA and
MANCOVA are explored to deepen your analytical capabilities. By the end of this module,
you will be well-prepared to conduct data analysis independently, applying SPSS techniques
effectively to solve complex research problems.
We encourage you to approach this material with curiosity and dedication. Progress at your
own pace, revisit topics as needed, and enjoy the process of learning statistical analysis with
SPSS.
We wish you a pleasant journey in your learning experience!
