Hi, My research partner and I are currently carrying out some quantitative research and are struggling to use SPSS as we a new to the program... We've completed a fairly large-scale questionaire and have successfully collected our 430 responses, from 1600 questionnaires distributed, and...

I am wondering if the typical format of the Likert Scale creates cognitive dissonance for survey respondents. The Likert Scale is bipolar (e.g. Strongly Disagree to Strongly Agree) and typically has number coding (e.g. 1, 2, 3, 4, 5). Presumably the middle point (if there is one) indicates a...

Hello, I have a very time-sensitive question: I am replicating a theory that uses 12 Likert items to measure three latent variables (4 items per latent variable). Also in my study I use these 12 likert items that measure three latent variables. Every latent variables is measured by 4...

I am trying to calculate inter-rater reliability scores for 10 survey questions-- most of which are binary (yes/no). The agreemeant level bettwen the two raters is 70-90% on nearly every question, however the Kappa score is often very poor (0.2- 0.4). Can this be right? Secondly, can you...

Okay, I am fairly new to SPSS but am pressed for time in seeing if any statistically significant differences (.05) are evident. I have two groups (1) (n=30 and (2) n=40). I asked 28 survey questions and have the mean average for each question from each of the two groups. When I try to...

Howdy, I have a data set of mostly Likert-type items. In particular, I have 18 4-point items that measure 3 constructs (7, 6, and 5 items per construct). The database has 278 respondents, although not every one answered every question. My question is how to get SPSS to provide mean and std dev...
