SPSS is easier to use for beginners.
From my experience as a consultant, my impression is that SPSS is more popular
among the academics, while SAS is more popular in the industry, for example,
in testing programs, or survey firms.
It also depends on where you are. In some psyc departments SAS is more
popular and in some places SPSS is better liked.

SAS should be your first choice. It might need 6 months to master SAS
programming.
BTW, SAS is expensive too.

发帖数: 98 | 4 Fortunately universities usually can make arrangements with SAS and SPSS to
get a site licensed product on compus. Then the cost of owning SAS will be
much lower.
It's a pain learning how to use SAS.
It's quite a learning curve.
But I imagine that a beginner would have spent most of his/her time on
learning the tricks of using DATA STEP, which, by the way, is the ugliest
programming language I've used. The SAS/STAT procedures are okay, as long as
you know the details of the stats that you're

发帖数: 431 | 5 ARIMA的帖子说得已经很全面了，呵呵，不过在社会心理学这个领域里，
用SPSS的人应该是更多的，SAS的长处主要在于比较flexible，
可以做很多SPSS做不了的东西，但是也正因为flexible，
不同人用起来过程可能都不大一样，不太有利于比较和再分析。

s-plus or R are probably popular among statisticians, but not psychologists.
well, may be things are different at your place, but in the two places i've
been to, and at many other places where i've got friends, virtually no one is
using s-plus.

发帖数: 98 | 9 i use stata a little bit, but only in my consulting.
sociologists like stata a lot and i can see the reason why.
it's a very neat package. concise but very powerful with easy-to-use
third-party add-on components.
in terms of programmability stata is no doubt a clear winner as compared to
spss or sas.
