9. Introduction to SPSS Section 2 Advance to next slide

10. Interactive Introduction to SPSS Statistical Software Welcome, This module was designed to introduce you to SPSS statistical software. It is an interactive presentation for students who have successfully completed a lower division statistics course and are ready to begin conducting computerized statistical analysis. Advance to next slide

11. Learning Objectives You will learn to: • set-up a data entry page • work with variables, such as add, move, and recode them • perform descriptive analysis • conduct simple correlations Advance to next slide

12. Directions • Remember to use the double-down arrows to “Advance to next slide” (or go back and review slides) at your own pace. • Words in italics refer to a location. • Words in “quotes” are words you type. • Bold indicates a selection (to click on). • The symbol > indicates that you move to the next step. Advance to next slide

13. Getting Started • Data collection methods vary and the capabilities of SPSS are tremendous. • For this introductory module, we will use a simple survey (on the next slide) as part of a hypothetical study. • Take a look at the Sample Survey and note the information that is collected with each item. Advance to next slide

14. Sample Survey Participant #: __ Gender: M F Age: __ Year:__ Current GPA: ___ High School GPA: ___ On a scale of 1 to 10, how confident are you that you will learn statistics? 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 Not at All Very How many years of computer experience have you had? __ Advance to next slide

15. Open SPSS • Open SPSS: Start > All Programs > SPSS for Windows > SPSS 14.0 for Windows • Your Version number may be different. • A medium size window will open. • Select: Type in Data > OK Advance to next slide

16. This first screen (Data View) is where you enter data - one participant per row, one variable per column. • If it is not full screen with this window on top (example on next slide), hit the full screen button at the top right hand corner of your screen. Advance to next slide

17. Your screen should look like this. Advance to next slide

18. For the rest of the module, the small instructional window will not be in the pictures that show what your screen should currently look like. • See the next slide for an example. Advance to next slide

19. Your screen should look like this. Advance to next slide

20. Set-up a Data Entry Page Section 3 Advance to next slide

21. Set Up Columns • Switch to Variable View. At the bottom left of your screen there are two tabs (Data View and Variable View). Select: Variable View. (This screen is where you enter information about your variables - one variable per row.) Advance to next slide

22. Your screen should look like this. Advance to next slide

23. The first column is Name. This is where you enter the name of your first variable (do not use spaces). Type: “Case” and move down one line. • You will notice that across the first row the cells fill with information when you move down a line. These are the default settings. We will start by changing only a couple in this exercise. • On the second line under Name. Type: “Gender” • Move down one line and type: “Age” Advance to next slide

24. Your screen should look like this. Advance to next slide

25. Continue - • Move down one line and type: “GPA” • Move down one line and type: “HSGPA” • Move down one line and type: “Confidence” (This will be the name for the question about confidence.) • Move down one line and type: “CompExp” (This will be the name for the question about how much computer experience they have.) Advance to next slide

26. Advance to next slide

27. Coding • In response to the survey item Gender, your participant will circle M or F. SPSS will need a number that indicates Male and a number that indicates Female. • Go to Line 2 (Gender) and move over to the Values column, click on the cell and then on the 3 dots shaded in grey. A Value Labels window will appear. Enter “1” in the Value box and “Male” in the Label box. Select: Add. Then type “2” and “Female.” Select: Add > OK. Advance to next slide

28. Advance to next slide

29. You can write in information that explains the variable in the Label column. • Go to line 6 (Confidence) and move over to the Label column and type: “On a scale of 1 to 10 with 10 being the most, how confident are you that you will learn statistics?” • Move down to the Label column of line 7 (CompExp) and type: “How many years of computer experience have you had?” Advance to next slide

30. Adjust the column width by putting your cursor over the gray area on the dividing line between Label and Values. Hold the left click button (to grab the line) and move your mouse to the left. Advance to next slide

31. The Measure column is where you indicate the Level of Measurement of the variable. Choices are Nominal, Ordinal, or Scale (Interval or Ratio). • Go to line 1 (Case) and click on the Measure column. Click on the down arrow and select: Nominal. • Go to line 2 (Gender) and click on the Measure column. Click on the down arrow and select: Nominal. • Leave the remaining lines at the default value (Scale). Advance to next slide
