Dummy Coded Variables in SPSS (SPSS Tutorial Video #34)

In this video I teach you how to create Dummy Codes in SPSS. I walk through the steps needed and provide a detailed explanation for what I am doing.
This SPSS tutorial series is designed to teach you the basics of how to analyze and interpret the results of data using SPSS. I will cover everything from the very basics of the main windows within SPSS, to manipulating data, to running and interpreting meaningful analyses like t-tests, ANOVA, regression, and many more, and visualizing results.

Hello, thanks for a nice video! I just have one question for you. Isn't it a matter that if my categorical variable is nominal or scale when I wanna change it into a dummy variable? For example, I can see your polid is a scale variable not nominal. If it is nominal then you need to select "do not create dummies for scale variable values?" rather choosing "create dummies for all variables"? Look forward to your answer :)

I created a dummy variavles as explained and the Spss created five gruops while I was coding only four groups. Why is that? or in other words, why?

Hello again, Thanks so much for this video. But I have a question. I've seen videos where it was suggested that when you create dummy variables from an original variable, you make one of the dummies a baseline or reference. For instance, the PolId in your video has 5 different categories. My understanding is that when you add them to a multiple regression model, you should only include 4 categories. Please can you help clarify this assumption? Thanks so much!
