Creating a New or Combined Variable Using SPSS 

When you are writing your thesis and have been looking already more than an hour for a clear video. This is perfect! Thank you so much Arthur, clear, quick, and effective.

Arthur Bangert. Thank you for your brilliance and accuracy. I spent the whole day headaching on how to get totals for each construct and here you are. Thanks big time

Doing this for my MSc masters thank you very much!

Arthur! You are a life saver! Thank you so much

Thank you.very clear explaination and straightforward

Thank you Arthur. suppose we have 3 main variables (independent variable), (dependent Variable) and (Mediating variable). each variable is measured by some already established and validated scale. and each scale has about 4 Dimensions with about 3 statements for each dimension. and all items were scored on a 7-point Likert scale 1=Strongly Disagree to 7=Strongly Agree. How would be the correct analysis process for each dimension and each scale? and how would be the correlation analysis between the 3 variables? and for the total scores of dimensions/scales, should we use averages (means) or sums and why?. thank you very much in advanced for your kind clarification.

Thanks for u r Quick and clear explanation.

You actually solved my biggggggeeessst problem.... thanku very much

Thank you so much for this valuable information sir

omg thank you,i was freaking out cos my tutor showed us how to do this in class and i totally forgot, also your way is easier than his so cudos

YOU SAVED MY LIFE !!!!

Thank you soo much!! I really needed this

Thank you sir ! really appreciate that !!

How will you run multiple regression for these variables, which i mean how you will combine into three variables because you have 10 questions for each variables? can you explain please?

Tq very much...just the one that I need..

thanks so much dear🌹

Thank you. This is a godsend!

Thank you! 😀

Very useful. Thanks!

Thank you, this helped

Thank you so much!

thank you so much!!! i almost cried because i have no idea how to do this😭😭

I have 5 books for statistics and in non of them this is explained. I want to know why? Big thank you! This is for within-participants design if i understand correctly. How would it be for between?

TQ, it really helps me a lot.

I'm proud to smash the 500'th like, lol

Thank You Sir. :)

thank you sooooo much!!

is there a way to select all the items at the same time and move them over?

Dear Mr Arthur, I have done the same with my data. i.e. if the respondent has scored 7 for question 1 and 5 for the second question, the total is 12. The 12 is higher than 7, which is the highest score I have used. When I calculate the min and max for this grouped data, the max is 12. If I am not mistaken the max should be 7, if a respondent has used 7 and not 12. Please help

Thanks sir. pls sir will i be wrong if i divide total by 12 to find the mean?

just use SUM(q1 to q2)

Can Anyone please explain how to do a chi square test after combining the data. I followed the same step to club different variables in to one main category but i am getting weird results now.

thank you GOD

Thanks. Suppose, I want to know the satisfaction level of patients by 15 questions. Value of each question in Likert Scale ranges from 1-5. Thus from 'Compute Variable', by summing up of scores of all questions, I find value of SATISFACTION. Now, I want to divide SATISFACTION into 2: Scores equal or above 60% as SATISFIED and points below 60 as DISSATISFIED. How can I do it in SPSS? Please help me

thanks alot, I was wondering if you could let us know, how to compute different Variables , I mean 4 of them likert with one of them multiple answers (1 to 11).

i dont inderstand how to calculate the incident in SPSS

Hey, thank u for a useful video. I want to create a new variable with different groups. I have 6 different gaming genres with I want to have under one category Calle gaming genre... but I have tried everything and don't understand. Hope someone can help!
