SPSS for newbies: questionnaire data entry
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 11 сен 2024
- Once students have collected their questionnaire data they tend to input the data into Excel and then ask the question "How do I import Excel data into SPSS?". Now it's much more efficient to enter your data into SPSS if you intend to use SPSS for data analysis. In short, how to get data directly into SPSS is what you need. Cut Excel out of it.
Of course, you could stick to Excel, but if SPSS is new to you, you will feel a lot more familiar with it after you have spent hours entering the data!

It is very generous of you to show us how this works, especially since many students are struggling with SPSS and data analysis. It seems like numbers and data don't come easily for most social science students. So again, I owe you so much and keep on doing what you are doing - because it really helps! Thank you
I am Professor Lopez, thank you so much for this selfless and humanistic sharing of knowledge, I hope that I can be as patient as your way of teaching... God bless you...
Rosie, you made a good observation, I also like the way you have put it over. Instead of just going off the wire and accusing for the slip, you were very balanced and quite polite to point it out. And your appreciative nature is nice. In all I am sure you will agree that the Professor did a good job, taking time in putting things across.
Phil I'm just gonna exaggerate and say you're the best. Thank a lot man, you made me master SPSS without much stress, saving me time, money, and energy. I loved your presentation. Thanks a mill
Glad you found my channel
Hi there, thank you for a nice comment, you don't get too many of these on you tube :). Yes, I agree, professor has done an amazing job in taking his time to do this video, and I really appreciate it. I just did my stats exam at postgrad level and every bit of information that could refresh my stats knowledge from a while ago helped immensely.
You have no idea how much you've helped me with my thesis. Thanks man.
Can you use this software for qualitative method?
no
A lot better than other tutorials I've seen on the internet for this. Very easy to understand. Thanks very much for this. :)
Thanks you so much. I have been struggling with my data for weeks now, trying to complete my research for my MA, and I did download the PSPP programme but could not make head not tail of it, but now it all makes sense. It will also work out my means and standard deviations. Again, thank you, it's a God send!
Professor, you did a nice job. your temperament, your skill and your walk through is quite amazing.
Thank god that youtube exists! thank youuu!! xx
haha. psychology students can tutor you if you need help :P
haha nah, I know how to do already lol
true ^__^
Yup. RUclips has helped me in many ways, so nice to be able to add to the knowledge. Take care. Phil
Thanks a lot Phil Chan for helping me understanding the basics of how to use SPSS.
Many thanks for the tutorials they have been extremely helpful and God sent. Please keep them coming.
OMFG YOU ARE A LIFESAVER!!!! THANK YOU!!!
YOU ARE AMAZING!!!! You just saved a thesis.
a perfect way to learn the basic input methods
Phil Chan, wanna say "thank you very much " which is form china ,I have stong interests in data analysis and resolve to be a good data analysist , thats so helpful of your vedio. Thanks ....
+Wang Chen Most welcome. I thought RUclips was not accessible by normal means in China
Teaching myself SPSS overnight. Thank you for this!
Pauline, I have arranged my SPSS videos in "chapters", so it's in some order. You can view by going to my youtube homepage.
Thanks so much for this helpful tutorial:) This was my first time ever using SPSS and it was very clear and concise.
Nicely Done, done with the sole objective of making the topic understandable, a trait which is worth appreciating. A+
What measurement would you use for age that has been put into categories? (Ex. 12-25 & 26+) Would that be ordinal? Also what would the measurement scale be for a participants answers on a qualitative question where they would rank how they felt 1-5? Would this be nominal? I averaged the scores afterwards so that would make the combined answers ordinal right?
Thank you so much Phil, this is really helpful and I was able to enter my data while watching this video!
Thank you soo much! I've been really nervous about this assignment coming up but now I feel much more prepared!
tnx, phil. it is a good start for me taking MBA on my statistics subject using SPSS. no hands on yet.
+Alberto Marsamolo Jr. My other videos may help you too.
Thanks Phil. I found this very useful and interesting. It was also easy to learn thanks to your simple manner of instruction.
Glad my simple style helped.
Thankyou very much your video was very informative for me i was just in search of a clue how to use it so after playing this video for few minutes i did my data entry in no time
+Dr.Naush Farooq Great!
I normally dont comment on RUclips videos, but this video made me to do the opposite. Full thumbs up to you.. Very well explained and easy to understand.
+Muse Mania Thanks!

OMG, thank u so much!!! It seems so much easier now, I LOVE U!!!
This has been so helpful! Thank You!
Thanks for posting!! SO much help :)
Thank you so much Phil, this is all so useful!
thanks a lot, it was really helpful. Now i have an idea abt SPSS, thanks again!
Glad it helped Aida. For everyone who likes a video, I appreciate it if you share it with friends. "Sharing is caring!" Think about your friends who are struggling with SPSS!
Phil Chan i have 4 question in questionnaire that represent dependent variable and 3 question in the questionnaire represent independent variable 1,how can i combine all this question to represent depended variable and independent variable 1 because i want to use dependent variable with Independence variable in correlation analysis?
11:29 should be nominal, correct? It was left at "scale" in the video. Just confirmation. I love the videos BTW. They are excellent and I provide them to my students in Research Methods. However, there are times I like to go back and follow your thought process - which helps me in presenting.
Hi Michael
Yes, you are right. This was one of my earlier videos, and I didn't plan it carefully. I left the "Measures" column as its use is for (a) reminding the modeller about the nature of the variable, (b) only matters if you use Chart Builder.
I am glad if you can use the videos in your courses. I think there are a number of colleges recommending the videos to their students. There are common question students wish to ask when doing a project over the holidays and they may find it hard to contact their professor.
On another note, I don't like SPSS. What is routine in other big stats packages like Stata, and R, you need to pay for add-ons with SPSS, or link SPSS to R - well you might as well use R.
I see. So, now you have piqued my interest in Chart Building. Do you happen to have a video on that? BTW, your video on how to handle multiple answers "tick all that apply" was perfect. I had students confused as to how that should be dealt with - and I personally know that students (as newbies) prefer your speed and thorough explanations. I saw where you can commented about some thinking they were too slow - at least for my students, the speed is right.
Thank you for the time and effort you put into these videos.
Hi Michael
I don't have videos on Chart Builder, but I might have used it as part of another analysis. Well. it's something I can do. Thanks for the idea.
You know how it is when you are teaching a group - you can never satisfy all students. A good thing about being on video is that viewers can rewind, so my more recent videos are at normal pace.
Now i clear about data entry . Thanks
BEAUTIFULLY DONE!
What about when a participants has answered 2 different questionairres?
Thank you soo much. This is really helpful for my dissertation!
Thank you for sharing this video. I am analysis my data right now. :)
This is so helpful. Thank you so much.
you can hear someone cleaning the dishes in the background
Still a great video :)
thank you for a wonderful tutorial. But I am a bit confused regarding the marital status, will it be nominal or a scale? I think it should be nominal in the measure...isnt it?
Thanks for the clear explanation.
Thanks so much for explaining this so well! Very easy to understand. Also, love the accent(:
+Laura Sanford Ta! It's a northern accent.
Thank you ahmetrics.
I am entering my data into SPSS, but I have difficulty assigning the right measure to 4 of my variables. Would you check them and say if I got any of them wrong? I am comparing newspaper articles.
1. Article size/Word count (up to 100; up to 500; up to 1000) (ORDINAL)
2. Page (1,2,3...) (ORDINAL)
3. Number of quotes per article (SCALE)
4. Description of Volvo (positive, neutral, negative) (ORDINAL)
Thank YOU again!
Hi, this tutorial is great, however I'm using a questionnaire that has 3 questions per scenario. How would I go about doing this?
thanks for good lesson! now i can attempt my assignment
thank you Phil. extremely helpful video
thanks for helping me put! WAS A HUGE HELP!! xo
Great tutorial!
Thank you for this video, really helped me :) very happy
what kind of statistical analysis would you use for this type of questionnaire
Hi there video was great, did you make a mistake with the marital states variable? You had it as a scale in your variable view when it is supposed to be a nominal measure. Thanks
Hi, Phil can i ask why i get "the value is negative due to a negative average covariance among item. This violates reliability model assumptions. You may want to check item recoding. I get this when i do the Cronbach alpha reliability test. My N item is 5 and sample of respondent is 60. May i know what have i gone wrong.
Thank you! Great tutorial! Much appreciated!
Thanks, but how do you enter if you have 280 questionnaires, rows are only 40 in spss
on the variable tab, how did you get the name, type, width, decimal and etc.. do we have to do it manually or…? i am so lost only on that part! but i understand the whole thing haha.
so helpful, Good work.
thank u so much this was so helpful.
Hi Phil Chan, your tutorial was really helpful. This tutorial really helped me with analyzing the data for my research.
THX MAN U HELP ME A LOT!!!!
Hi Phil, I'm having a bit of a SPSS breakdown. My Masters research project is comparing European and American Amur leopard husbandry techniques. I have received 29 questionnaires from America and 28 from EU! I can't figure out how to enter these into SPSS :( totally confused.com
u really helped in simplifying it! so ty
Thanks for this video,i love it
i am using spss v.16.I promptly opened spss16.0 and entered three variables.I saved and closed it.But when I try to open the saved data is not appearing.Why this happen?
This was very helpful 👍🏾
Good stuff man...i learn`t a lot
Thanks, Phil. Awesome video.
Thanks Kimberly
I'd like to do a video on Cronbach's Alpha - a popular measure of internal consistency of a scale (and one that some dissertation supervisors/journals insist on) - used in questionnaire analysis. Can any of you share with me your data set that I would use to demonstrate this? Am after a data set that isn't too complex ie doesnt have loads of wierd variables that will take a layman hours to understand.Data from social science, marketing, medical one will do. A small part of the data would do.
Thanks Kindly
Phil
Phil Chan Hi Phil. Your video was definitely a wealth of information. I just completed my Master's Thesis. Sure I don't mind sharing but I just have to check with my professor the university's IRB to see if it's ok to share my data set from my research. I did my research on the public's perception of the disabled. I will let you know what they say. And you are welcome:).
Kimberly
Thank you so much for this video! xx
thanks for uploading now m aware of basics :)
Question sir: Is Q3) "What is your marital status" a nominal variable or a scale variable? I understand that before you said that the variables don't really matter and that we all make little mistakes here and there, especially during long videos, but I was curious for my own sake when I work on my research project. Thanks and nice video!
Hi Richard
Marital status is nominal. Good luck with your project.
Phil
Thanks!
Thanks mate : ) It's really helpful!
Just sub'd ... quality video and you make good references as well. Thanks a ton

Thanks so much for this tutorial! :)
thanks.. you really save my day
very helpful .. but you didn't enter marital status under nominal scale . Isn't ithis wrong ?
I don't know how to differentiate between ordinal and scale... any further explain?
Very useful video, thank you so much. I've got a question I hope you can answer though (google is failing me unfortunatly). I've got two separate surveys for one research but I want to use the two in the same SPSS file so I can analyze them both.
My only idea is to start the other survey at No. 21 (As in 1) since the other survey ends at 14. Any ideas? Thank in advance!
I have 15 questions in my questionnaire (5 for every variable). How do I create and enter data???
Thank you!! This is very helpful
thank you sire. really helpful
Very helpful. Thank you
Thank You. Very Easy To Understand ☺😊
+S_Friend 😊 Enjoy the holiday.
