This is really a two part question, and I could use any advice available on my questions.
First - Can anyone recommend a good desk reference for the use of SPSS (11.0) in conducting and interpreting analysis�of survey-type research? It has been about three years since I completed my statistics coursework and I could use a good refresher. Second - I am doing a study using a two part instrument where I will use factor analysis to identify statistically significant factors in the first area (new work in a survey developed for this study). The second part will be to determine if there are any significant correlations between this instrument and the results of a previously validated instrument that determines the relative strength of characteristics in four quadrants. The goal is to determine if there are correlations between the identified factors in the two instruments such that indications of high values in the four characteristics correlate with any of the factors in the first part of the instrument. Preliminary analysis indicates there will be 7 factors from the first instrument to correlate to 4 factors in the second. I have considered ANOVA and Regression Analysis but am not sure which would be most practical. Any advice would be appreciated. I feel I am missing something obvious, but am hitting a mental block in my methodology development.
