Since the beginning of writing a thesis, I was planning to do all of the work by myself, but I gathered so much data, that I didn’t know what to do with it and what kind of statistical analysis to perform. On top of that, I am not very good at math and statistics, so I was afraid to make a mistake. This is why I decided to turn for assistance to SPSS Help and glad that I made such decision! I got exactly what I wanted; all calculations were done professionally and with full description of the process. Anyways, thank you very much for your help!
