    Anybody know of any good resources where I can learn how to read and understand the output from a Linear Regression on SPSS?

    Any SPSS manual/book would help but typically they assume a level of statistical knowledge that would be hard for the beginner.

    I can help if you have more specific questions, I'm familiar with SPSS.

    Discovering Statistics Using SPSS by Andy Field (published by Sage) is a very good guide, but it only goes up to SPSS12 (for the main applications, I don't think the latest version SPSS15 is actually significantly different). It explains the statistical theory as well as the SPSS input and output.

    I've heard favourable reports of SPSS Made Simple by Paul Kinnear and Colin Gray, and I note from Amazon.co.uk that a new edition covering SPSS15 is just about to come out.

    I like Julie Pallant's SPSS Survival Manual. If you like you can PM me the output and I'll give interpreting it a go.
