Is SPSS better than R?

Neither is better. SPSS is faster to learn and the menus make the procedure explicit, which suits a one-off dissertation analysis. R is free, reproducible and far better if you will keep doing this. Use whichever your department supports, because being able to ask someone nearby matters more than the feature list.

This comes up on SPSS Support and Analysis Help, where it is answered in the context of the work itself.
