The Mann-Whitney test can be considered a possible alternative to the parametric independent samples t-test when certain distributional assumptions (e.g., normality) are not met for that test. This video provides a general walk-through of how to generate and interpret Mann-Whitney test results using the most up-to-date non-parametric test options in SPSS. (It does not cover the use of the legacy dialog approach)
