INTRODUCTION
SPSS stands for statistical package for social science. It is a software which is used to perform the complex calculations of
statistics. The statistics is divided into two parts: descriptive statistics and inferential statistics. The descriptive statistics includes
mean, mode and median. On the other hand, inferential statistics includes various parametric and non-parametric tests such as t-test,
ANOVA, correlation and regression (Abu-Bader,. and Jones, 2021). This report includes the data about superstitious beliefs which
includes various activities such as refrain from jinxing, cross fingers and repeating a particular phase. It also includes the self-
efficiency scale. According to the data, hypothesis is framed and inferential test are performed.
