AT THE END OF LITERATURE REVIEW OR INTRODUCTION
Based on theory literature review, what is
(are) the question(s) you want to address? What
are respondents attitude toward research and
statistics? Are attitudes toward research and
statistics related? Do males and females have
different attitudes? Is there a relationship
between age and attitudes?

Lets Launch SPSS (p. 7)

• Menu Bar
• Data Transform are used to manipulate the data
  in data editor (i.e., spread sheet)
• Analyze and Graphs are used to create output
• Tabs (bottom left hand corner of data editor)
• Data View
• Columns Variables (e.g., questions on survey)
• Rows Cases (e.g., survey)
• Variable View
• How we edit the variables
• Give variables their names, labels, etc
• Enter you survey into Data View

15
Editing the raw data

• Variable View
• Tab (located lower left hand corner)
• Pages 10 11 of your handout

16

• Save the data set to your desktop.
• Call it edited data your initials
• E.g., editeddataJF
• Now we are going to open up a new data set.
• File gt open gt Data
• Navigate to your desktop
• Open up the data file that you downloaded from
  our website.

17
Transforming Variable (p 12)

• Recode
• Data may be need to be recoded for a variety of
  reasons
• Examples
• common for reversing the scales
• Converting a continuous variable into discrete
  ordinal variable
• Transform gt Recode gt Into Different Variables
• Computing a New Variable
• Can create new variables that may be a function
  of pre-existing variables
• Transform gt Compute

18
What are the Levels of Measurement?
(supplemental information p. 17)

• Ratio (e.g., lengths, weights, volumes,
  capacities, rates)
• Different categories
• Rankable categories
• Constant equal-sized Intervals
• Absolute Zero (physical significance) (e.g.,
  temperature in Kelvin, time)
• Interval (temperature on Celsius and Fahrenheit,
  age)
• Different categories
• Rankable categories
• Constant equal-sized Intervals (can be expressed
  numerically)
• Ordinal (e.g.., dominance hierarchy)
• Different Categories
• Categories are rankable
• Nominal (a.k.a. attributes)
• Different Categories (e.g.., sex, species,
  phylum, location)

19
Descriptive Statistics

• Presentation of entire distribution
• Frequency Distribution organized tabulation of
  the number (or percentage) of individuals in each
  category on the scale of measurement
• Can be presented in a table or in a graph
• Measures of Central Tendency
• Identifies a single score that represents an
  entire data set
• Best example of average or most typical score
• Measures of Variability (Dispersion)
• Provides a description of how spread out the
  scores are in a distribution
• Provides a measure of how accurately a single
  score selected from a distribution represents the
  entire set

Central Tendency and Dispersion (p 17)
23
Back to SPSS

• Create table frequency a chart (p 18)
• Create measures of central tendency (p 19)
• Create measures of dispersion (p 19)

24
How can we summarize the distribution of the
below variable?

• Gender
• Male
• Female

What is the level of measurement? (see page 17,
1st slide)
Nominal
Should we use a bar graph or a histogram? (see
page 17, 2nd slide)
Bar Graph
25
Presentation of an Nominal Variable

• Click Analyze gt click Descriptive Statistics gt
  then click Frequencies.
• You should see a dialog box called Frequencies.
• On the left side you should see a list of
  variables and on the right you should see a
  Variable(s) box.
• In the variable list (left side) look for a
  variable either called Gender or sex.
• Select this variable by clicking on it, then
  click ?to place the variable in the Variable(s)
  box.
• Make sure that there is a check mark next to
  Display frequency tables.
• Click Charts.
• You will see a dialog box called Frequencies
  Charts
• Click Bar Charts. Click Continue.
• Click OK.

We want to know the central tendency for the
below variable.

• Age of respondent
• 18 89. Actual age in years

What is the level of measurement?
Which measure of central tendency should we use?
29
Central Tendency Variability for Interval
Ratio Variables (p 19)

• Click Analyze gt click Descriptive Statistics gt
  then click Descriptive.
• You will see a dialog box called Descriptives.
• Select the variable
• one is called AGE.
• Click Options. You will see a dialog box called
  Descriptives Options
• By default Mean, Std Deviation, Minimum,
  Maximum should be selected
• click Continue.
• Click OK.

Mean Standard Deviation of Age
31
Summary of what we have discussed.

• Presentation of the variable distributions
• Central tendency
• Variability (dispersion)

32
Inferential Statistics (p 20)

• Techniques that allow us to study samples and
  then make generalizations about the population
  from which they were selected.
• Sample a set of individuals selected from a
  population, usually intended to represent the
  population in a research study.
• Population The collection of all individuals
  (cases) in which the researcher is interested.

33
Inferential Statistics

• Statistical Significance (probability)
• Probability is used to predict what kind of
  samples are likely to be obtained from a
  population.
• Probability establishes a connection between
  populations and samples
• Relying on this connection, inferences of
  populations can based on sample statistics

34
Linear Relationships

• Science involves a search for relationships
  between variables. For example, is there is a
  relationship between the amount of rainfall and
  crop growth?
• Sometimes, it is reasonable to expect a
  consistent, orderly relation between two
  variables As X changes, Y also changes in a
  predictable way.

35
Linear Relationships with SPSS

• Two options
• Regression Analysis
• Analyze gt Regression gt Linear
• Correlation Coefficient (simpler)
• Analyze gt Correlate gt Bivariate
• Scatter Plot
• Graphs gt Scatter gt Simple ...
