Summary:

The dataset has been chosen to create new variables from existing ones. This is an open access teaching dataset with 26 variables. While there are larger datasets more often used, this dataset was chosen specifically to allow focusing on creating new variables. You will be shown how to carry these methods out on IBM SPSS Statistics. Learning the two techniques taught in this guide will allow you to have more options in how you present data and conduct research. You will learn how to create a total score variable, allowing you to measure more complex concepts through a number of official questions. You will learn how to check for reliability, validity, and consistency measures to ensure this is an appropriate method. You will also learn how to recode categorical data, which allows you to consider the number of groups in a variable, a technique commonly used to improve the proportions of samples or simplify information to be presented to an audience. The dataset file is accompanied by a student guide and a how-to guide for IBM® SPSS®.
