I am new to SPSS and would appreciate some help with a dilemma I have.
My reseach question is about elderly people and I have to find out underlying groups. The group data comes from a questionnaire. I have thought about cluster analysis, but the thing is that I would like to search perceived health and which things affect on the perceived health, eg. what kind of groups of elderley rank their health as bad. I have some 30 questions I would like to check with the analysis, to see if for example widows have better or worse health than the average. I also have weighs in my data so I need to use complex samples.
Could someone please tell me how can I use an already existing function or analysis should I use?
Thank you in advance!
