As an online psychology and statistics tutor, research consultant, and uni student, I use SPSS daily to support undergraduate, postgraduate and lecturer learning of how to use the SPSS program and interpret findings; as well as using the program for in-house research, my assessments, and as a consultant for NGOs, small business and as a research assistant for academic staff. Problems addressed include: descriptive analyses, assumption checking, NHST, effect sizes, and building models such as with path analysis, SEM, moderation and mediation (using PROCESS), and visual representation of data; for lecture and tutorial reviews, research proposals and reports including theses, and to manage research projects from outside of academia.
