We get a campus package that includes Base, Advanced Stats (especially for repeated-measures) and the Regression package. It's accessible anywhere on campus; this year it cost us a little over $9k. Not cheap, but considering how it continues to be popular in grad programs, we'll keep (trying) to buy it. Also, there are a few of us on campus who do research, and it's nice to have it. Used to be that we could get individual copies for something like $250, but I'm not sure about that anymore.
When IBM first acquired it, it seemed that they were focusing on business applications rather than, umm, social science applications. This past year, however, they seem to have realized that a big chunk of their business was coming from universities, and they've developed some reasonably-priced campus packages. (Of course, your definition of "reasonable" may be different than mine...) I get feedback from our grads, and as long as they continue to tell me that they have SPSS available to them in grad school, we'll keep going with it. As that changes, though, we'll consider something different. m -- Marc Carter, PhD Associate Professor of Psychology Chair, Department of Behavioral and Health Sciences College of Arts & Sciences Baker University -- From: Musselman, Robin [mailto:rmussel...@lccc.edu] Sent: Monday, September 24, 2012 9:32 PM To: Teaching in the Psychological Sciences (TIPS) Subject: [tips] Status of SPSS This semester we have had quite a to-do about getting SPSS for our students in their statistics and methods classes. It appears that first Pearson and now Cengage has cut their relationship with SPSS. As a community college, obviously we need to teach what the transfer institutions are asking us to teach and up until now it has been SPSS. We are wondering if these changes in terms of getting student editions will have any impact on the use of SPSS at four year colleges/universities. Any thoughts?
