Abstract
This chapter describes how to use SPSS for Windows to perform simple linear regression analysis. Because a scatterplot and correlation coefficient are indispensible in interpreting regression results, procedures for obtaining these are reviewed as well. The SPSS output for simple regression analysis includes many results that are redundant. This is because the same regression output pertains to multiple regression analysis as well, in which the results tell us about different aspects of the data. Multiple regression analysis (regression with two or more independent variables) is not discussed in the textbook and so is not demonstrated in this manual.
