Follow-up pairwise test for Kruskal-Wallis in SPSS

[Ranjana Dutta]

This may sound a silly inquiry, but in V 20 of SPSS, are the provided "test statistics" in the modeler, Mann-Whitney tests of two groups? or something else??? If something else, how are they to be reported?? I can't seem to find any documentation of what SPSS is using as the Test Statistic. 
Thanks to anyone who can help.

Ranjana,

 

The first link that popped up after googling "kruskal wallis post hoc spss" was:

 

http://www-01.ibm.com/support/docview.wss?uid=swg21477370

 

If you read the entire page, including the last paragraph ("Note that the analysis..."), then you will receive the answer to your question.
