SPSS for newbies: What do I do after I have entered my data?

So you've entered your data into SPSS. That was the easy part. What do you do next? With so many tools out there, the newbie will need a helping hand. I give you some pointers in this video.

Phil, you are a star, no one explains as well and as in detail as you do. Thank you so much! :o)

Thanks Phil....
Quick questions...
1- What test should I use for comparing likart between pre and post survey? Chi?
2- The survey designer added a sixth item to the normal Likart scale..called it "6=Unsure".... How do you think I should handle it? Should I move it to new variable?
Thanks.

Hi Phil. I have a dilemma regarding on SPSS. I am using a 4-Point Likert Scale and my research tool was based on Susan Walker's HPLP II. What I had entered on my tally was subdivided into the six domains of the HPLP and under each domain is 8-9 questions. I have 107 respondents. I am planning to compare its reliability via Cronbach's Alpha and T-Test. Can you guide me through this?

Hi. I do not have a video on Cronbach's Alpha, but you can find it on RUclips. Though it's a popular measure of reliability, there are a number of flaws about it.

Hi Phil, with the scale VS scale correlation, what if the two scales have different #s? Like one of them is a 4 point likert scale and the other one is 7 point likert scale? How would u run correlation on this? Thank you..

[@PhilChanstats]

+BravoEchoAlpha you have a choice....they are both ordinal so you could do Spearman....but at the newbie level, one might treat them both as scale, in which case you could do Pearson's subject to a number of conditions about the data being satisfied as explained in the vid.
