In the process of realizing this function, the use of psychometric and statistical methods, as well as various, well-known standard tests, which are specially created as required by the relevant event and situation, are common. While psychologists working in the academic field may only focus on research and psychological theories aiming to deepen in a particular field, some other psychologists use this information in the field of applied psychology to provide immediate and practical benefit. Although these approaches show some differences, they are not mutually exclusive, and many psychologists become involved in a research process at some point in their career journey. Every psychologist who wants to be successful in his professional career should have a good command of quantitative and qualitative research methods. Quantitative psychological research includes the application of statistical analysis methods to psychological research and the development of new statistical approaches to measure or explain human behavior.
Most researchers consider the SPSS software program, which is the most widely used statistical analysis program in social sciences and especially behavioral sciences, as a difficult method. Spss Applications and Research Methods for Psychologists book is a guiding guide that also aims to ease the difficulties in this subject. This book will provide psychologists who want to do research with the ability to analyze research problems statistically, and to scientifically analyze the phenomena and events that fall into the field of psychology.

Osman İyilikci Quantitative data analysis is an important part of scientific research methods in psychology. One of the consequences of this situation is that the research design used during scientific studies in psychology determines which technique will be used to analyze the data obtained. From this point of view, all statistical analyzes in this book are handled together with the research design and measurement level they are related to.
The research examples and the topics covered in the book have been determined in accordance with the terminology that psychologists encounter in research methods, statistics and experimental psychology courses throughout their education. In order to increase clarity, the statistical analyzes in the book are handled through sample data files that the reader can download from the relevant web page. In addition, each analysis is supported by an example of an APA style report.
Considering the topics it covers, it is thought that the book is suitable both for those who are just starting to use SPSS and for researchers with SPSS experience. Therefore, the book is a helpful resource for both students and researchers in scientific research projects, research methods courses, and computer-applied statistics courses.

Qualitative research methods are one of the most effective ways to study this subject in depth.
Qualitative research methods are very important scientific research methods that have been preferred more frequently by researchers in recent times, both in terms of working directly with the person in their own language and not denying the potential effect of the researcher on the process. In qualitative studies, the goal is not to determine the truth or falsity of predetermined hypotheses, but to gather in-depth information about why and how experiences affect individuals. Within the framework of this basic stance, qualitative research has different methods, and each method has its own goal and analysis methodology. In this book, these methods are presented to the reader in detail in different chapters, by dealing with all the subtleties within the framework of both the purpose of the research and the ways to be followed according to the method used, and exemplified within the framework of studies in the field of psychology.
