FILED PURSUANT TO RULE 13d-1(b) or 13d-2(b)  
  
	Pursuant to the instructions in Item 7 of Schedule 13G, Fidelity  
Management & Research Company ("Fidelity"), 82 Devonshire Street, Boston,  
Massachusetts 02109, a wholly-owned subsidiary of FMR Corp. and an investment  
adviser registered under Section 203 of the Investment Advisers Act of 1940,  
is the beneficial owner of 327,200 shares or 4.59% of the common stock  
outstanding of SPSS Incorporated ("the Company") as a result of acting as  
investment adviser to several investment companies registered under Section 8  
of the Investment Company Act of 1940.    
  
	Edward C. Johnson 3d, FMR Corp., through its control of Fidelity, and the  
Funds each has sole power to dispose of the 327,200 shares owned by the Funds.  
  
	Neither FMR Corp. nor Edward C. Johnson 3d, Chairman of FMR Corp., has  
the sole power to vote or direct the voting of the shares owned directly by  
the Fidelity Funds, which power resides with the Funds' Boards of Trustees.   
Fidelity carries out the voting of the shares under written guidelines  
established by the Funds' Boards of Trustees.  
  
	Members of the Edward C. Johnson 3d family are the predominant owners of  
Class B shares of common stock representing approximately 49% of the voting

of the aggregate outstanding voting stock of FMR Corp., and Mr. Johnson 3d is  
Chairman of FMR Corp.  The Johnson family group and all other Class B  
shareholders have entered into a shareholders' voting agreement under which  
all Class B shares will be voted in accordance with the majority vote of Class  
B shares.  Accordingly, through their ownership of voting common stock and the  
execution of the shareholders' voting agreement, members of the Johnson family  
may be deemed, under the Investment Company Act of 1940, to form a controlling  
group with respect to FMR Corp.
