Comparison of analyses available in SPSS and jamovi
SPSS (version 27)
The overview covers functions from SPSS Base (99$) and Advanced (79 US$), i.e. 178 US$ / user and month.
|
jamovi (versjon 2.0) |
Already at first glance, it
becomes clear that jamovi
currently has fewer features than
SPSS. But:
(1) There is a (ever increasing)
made available via modules (press
the “+” sign in the right upper
corner of the jamovi window to add
them) and
(2) The features implemented
already cover “standard” needs
(90% of the most common analyses
used in psychology).
Feel free to check out which
modules are available: There is
also quite a wealth of modules
covering functions that are not
available in SPSS but very useful
(e.g., for meta-analyses; MAJOR).
If you are willing to use some R
code (e.g., in conjunction with
the jamovi-module Rj) then you can
(most presumably) do every
analysis you could imagine.

Whereas SPSS puts both methods into one procedure (
FACTOR
) makes jamovi a conceptual difference between Principal Component Analysis aiming at data reduction (i.e., reducing the number of dimension that are required to describe the data) and Exploratory Factor Analysis aiming at extracting underlying latent variables.
