How do I co,pute the standard error (s.e.) of ''beta'' in a linear regression in SPSS?

Two estimates of regression coefficients are given in SPSS. These are called B and beta and correspond to using raw score (response and predictor variables) and z-scored response and predictor variables respectively.

The Descriptives procedure [:FAQ/zscore: may be used] to obtain z-scores.

Alternatively (see for example Cohen and Cohen, 1983),

$$ \mbox{s.e.(beta) = s.e.(B)} \frac{\mbox{s.d.(covariate)}}{\mbox{s.d.(response)}}$$
