Are you familiar with Andy Field's textbook "Discovering Statistics
Using
IBM SPSS Statistics"? It is currently out in 4th edition; see Amazon:
http://www.amazon.com/Discovering-Statistics-using-IBM-SPSS/dp/1446249182
But you can get a desk/examination copy. The datasets used in the
textbook
are available online. The datasets are all in SPSS system data format
and
correspond to analyses done in the book. Mostly Field uses point and
click
from the menu but there are some syntax files. Here is where you can
download the datasets from the 3rd edition (a copy of which can be
gotten
pretty cheaply); see:
http://www.sagepub.com/field3e/SPSSdata.htm
Here is more info on Field's 3rd edition:
http://www.sagepub.com/field3e/main.htm
Field has done a video promoting the 3rd edition which also highlights
how one can access stuff from the book via a smartphone (I'm not
completely
sure about this); see:

Good luck.

Hello gang
I need SPSS data sets related to behavioral/social sciences that would
be
suitable for analysis and creation of a simple "poster" project for
small work
groups in an intermediate
statistics class.
The prof from whom I inherited the class no longer does these even
though they
were shown on the syllabus as a major portion of the credit earned for
the term.
He could not supply them to me...I had already distributed the syllabus
when he
informed me of this...and after weighing out my choices decided that I
did not
want to revise the syllabus and re-distribute 40% of the points earned
to
assignments and exams.
Too much additional tension in a course I've only taught 3 times
before...
Please feel free to contact me off list. If I could find 10-12 data sets
in
Excel/CSV or SPSS format (with coding guides) I would be so grateful.
I've found repositories online but these are often vast and do not
include
codebooks.
Thanks and best of luck to all in AY2013-2014
