With 96 SPSS Statistics guides, use Laerd Statistics as your definitive SPSS Statistics resource.

We have a wide range of SPSS Statistics guides to help you analyse your data, from the more straightforward to the more advanced. These include statistical tests to help you determine if there are differences between groups, predict scores, identify associations, perform data reduction, and test for assumptions. We also show you how to create graphs and charts, as well as get started and set up your data in SPSS Statistics. A list of the SPSS Statistics guides in our enhanced content is provided below. You can see the new guides we're adding to the site here.

We are adding guides all the time, and have a schedule of new SPSS Statistics guides that we will be adding in December 2025 and beyond. We also maintain a "wishlist" from our users, which forms the basis of our schedule. Therefore, if there is a particular guide you want that you don't see below, please contact us. We can let you know when we will be able to add a suitable guide to the site.
