Directions for Downloading Data Sets
All download files are stored as compressed, self-extracting files with the
file
extension of ".EXE", e.g. "GSS2002_PrejudiceAndAltruism.EXE".
- Click on the link to a file to download it to your computer. You will be asked to
specify a destination directory. On the classroom computers, this
directory is C:\SW388R7. This is the default that
I have included when creating the self-extracting files. I suggest you use the
same name on your computer.
- When the file has finished downloading, navigate to C:\SW388R7 on your computer
(or whatever folder name you specified).
- Double click on the downloaded file. A window titled WinZip
Self-Extractor will open.
- In the WinZip Self-Extractor window, click on the Unzip
button. A dialog box will notify you when the file in unzipped.
- When the file is unzipped, close the WinZip Self-Extractor window.
- Delete the self-extracting file with the ".EXE" extension from your
C:\SW388R7 folder. You computer operating system
may tell you that this is a program file and require you to verify that you do
want to delete it.
The unzipped data sets are SPSS system
data files with the file extension ".SAV", e.g.
"GSS2002_PrejudiceAndAltruism.SAV".
