Recode a scale variable into a categorical variable using SPSS. For example, change the scale variable 'Age' into the categorical variable 'Age groups'. ASK SPSS Tutorial Series
Hello there! I just wanted to drop a quick note to say thank you for creating such an informative and useful tutorial on how to use "record into different variables" for SPSS. As someone who's relatively new to using SPSS, I found your tutorial to be incredibly helpful and easy to follow. What I appreciated most about your tutorial was how clear and concise your instructions were. You did an excellent job of breaking down the process step-by-step, and you provided helpful visual aids that made it easy to follow along. I also appreciated how you took the time to explain why "record into different variables" is an important feature in SPSS and how it can be used in different scenarios. One thing that really stood out to me was your approach to teaching. You were patient and methodical, and you made sure to address any potential questions or confusion that might arise. I also appreciated how you shared some tips and tricks for using SPSS more efficiently, which I'm sure will come in handy in the future. Overall, I just wanted to express my gratitude for your tutorial. It's clear that you put a lot of time and effort into creating it, and it shows. Your expertise and knowledge of SPSS are evident, and your tutorial has already helped me to streamline my own data analysis process. I'm sure that others who come across your tutorial will feel the same way. Once again, thank you for creating such an excellent tutorial. Your generosity in sharing your knowledge is greatly appreciated, and I look forward to seeing more of your work in the future. Keep up the great work!
Wow thank you so much!! Thank you also for the great pace - I cannot express how much this helped! - Especially helpful when my advisor changes my stats last min! :D Best SPSS video overall!!
Thank you so much for the amazing video. I have noticed that the 25-year-old participants were missed as the first group should be (25 and younger/under) and not (under 25).
thank you very much for the tuto....ive been confused to decide the age group as scale or categorical but now i know it should be ordinal right? THANK YOU :D
Thanks for your video. I wish to ask, how can I possibly merge courses from a survey like grouping all the engineering courses to be represented by engineering,? For instance, I would like to put Psychology, Sociology, etc as social sciences
I have a quick question for this - would the scale be changed to ordinal because we are working with the frequencies such data occured? If I am collecting data on how many sodas 10 year old boys drink this would be a scale - since there are true zero of not drinking any soda. when making this frequency distribution would that also become ordinal or maintain the scale measurement?
If I recode the age variable, as you described it, but only with 2 categories (2 age groups: (0) = 16-34 years, (1) = 35+) --> is this than also a "recoded ordinal variable" or do I have to say I recoded age into a binary dummy variable? (I changed type of measure in SPSS into "ordinal").
Can I use this method with grouping categories with small values. For example, I would like to create a dummy variable for nominal variables with seven categories (countries) but I want to merge four countries into one dummy. Can I then put them into a range?
Hello , can you help me…😭😭😭 my value is yes(1), no(0), do not know(0)… as you can see the value same so i cannot put (0) twice but this question about knowledge thats why im not doing it in likert scale, it is more to right and wrong answer. So how i need to do in the spss?😭😭😭
