Normality Test with Likert Scale Data in SPSS

This tutorial explains how you can conduct a normality test using Likert Scale Data in SPSS. Normality test is important if you want to conduct parametric statistical tests/ analysis such as Regression, ANOVA test, F-test, T-test and Correlation.
Whether you’re a postgraduate student wanting to start writing your dissertation/ thesis or an early career academic struggling with conceptualizing your new research ideas, I can help you succeed.

In one of his tutorials, I commended him for using a special pedagogy to let anyone understand the presentations. With Dr. Okolie, I understand better than in a face-to-face class.

Dear sir,
That was an extraordinary video for beginners. The data was not normally distributed even after taking their mean values, so how to bring them into normality? Could you please help me on this sir?

[@Dr.Okolie]

Thank you for watching the video. You can try transforming the data using Log function in SPSS

[@fathizzz2590]

Hello Dr, does the measure need to be in ordinal?

[@lipinrajk2014]

Thank you sir

[@Dr.Okolie]

Thank you too

[@MekuriawAmsalu]

I am doing my dissertion on satisfaction level assessment with ordinal data ( 5 point likert scale). So how can I do the following.
1. Transforming 5 point likert in to dichotomous for regression?
2. Making one variable from different item(group in to one variable)
3. Analysis methodes
if any please share video
3.

Thank you. This video will help ruclips.net/video/p4TEVkL_BMc/видео.html

[@getasewmotbynor120]

sir, but your final result is still significant, how can we concluded normally distributed?

[@Dr.Okolie]

If it is significant, it's not normally distributed. Thus, you to transform the data or run a nonparametric test.
