03 Descriptive Statistics and z Scores in SPSS - SPSS for Beginners

[@zoeverou5188]

I've used SPSS for 4 years and this is the only person I've seen on KZbin who actually knows how to properly explain the basics of SPSS

[@afterschool_racer]

Because he got a phd

[@sahanwakwella8404]

This guy is saving lives after 5 years❤

[@kevinmunene456]

I had no clue what I was doing with this, two videos down the line, my data is coded and I can run a few simple tests, not much but beats the heck out of the squat I had....your're a life saver dude....

[@ResearchByDesign]

Wonderful to hear that. As you work on other tests/analyses, pease check out the channel. I think you will find all the help that you need!

[@rooneytom1316]

Dr. Todd has provided incredibly clear and comprehensive explanations in his videos, making it remarkably easy for me to grasp the concepts. Despite struggling for the past three weeks to learn SPSS, I was able to absorb a significant amount of knowledge within just one hour of watching his videos. I greatly appreciate his teaching style. If it were possible, I would be grateful for the opportunity to connect with Dr. Todd to seek his guidance and assistance with a specific issue I'm facing in my work. His expertise would be invaluable in helping me resolve this matter.

[@katiecunnah5081]

These videos are absolutely amazing. I've been studying psychology for over 10 years, and am now on my third postgraduate stats course after being completely lost on the stats module of my previous MSc and on my PhD (and consequently seeking safety as a qualitative researcher!). Believing I just 'couldn't do stats' I'd almost given up. This is the first resource/teaching style I've found that takes it at the pace I need. It's really helpful to have spent some time ensuring you really grasp some of the basics first (such as knowing what all the terms means (Types of variables, measures of central tendency, SD, SE, CIs etc and the basics of research design) but once you know what the terms all mean and are ready to start using SPSS, these videos are just the best.

[@CaseyAlannaCarter]

Thank you so much for all these videos! Because of them, I can get ahead of my degree and study at home on my own schedule while caring for my children, free of charge. I can't explain how much these online opportunities mean to me

[@ResearchByDesign]

You're so welcome! Love to hear that people are using the videos. Good luck with your degree.

Which is the best pictorical way through which this data can be represented?

[@ResearchByDesign]

If you mean the data in the video, your safest bets for a single categorical variable is a bar chart, for continuous variables, a histogram.

Kindly can you help me with. All the variables because if we have. Many questions related one variable then how can we. Check all of our variables in single tab without showing all the questions in that final table of descriptive analysis

[@ResearchByDesign]

Let me see if I understand...you want to see all of your variables, and the answer options, but without showing the data or a table. You may be looking for a codebook. I am going to send you a link to a video about codebooks that might help you. Good luck. kzbin.info/www/bejne/fHu7e4eDmc2EjZo

[@n1hondude]

Wow only 6 years after part 2

[@mynameistaztheboy8929]

just wanna ask hope u reply this : what is the difference between standard deviation and z score ? and could u give an example?

[@ResearchByDesign]

The SD is the average amount that all of the scores in the sample deviate from their mean. The z-score is the distance that a specific score deviates from the mean put into units of the SD. Example: SD is how much your weight varies around your average weight across a day; z-score measures how far your 7 AM weight is from your average.

[@MsAchu21]

@@ResearchByDesign u mentioned 2/3rd of weight varies up or down from mean.how did you get that 2/3rd?

[@ResearchByDesign]

@@MsAchu21 The 2/3 was a slight rounding from .6814, which is the proportion of scores 1 standard deviation above and 1 SD below the mean. So, roughly 2/3 of the scores are within +1 to -1 SD of the mean.

[@s.i.o.carteblanche9754]

This may sound weird, but I was wondering how you calculated 2/3 of the population being 13.4 std from the mean. I just want to know how you got 2/3

[@michaelmclean3767]

so in Standard deviation there is the 65-95-99.7 rule, general rule that about 2 thirds of data is within 1 standard deviation (in this case 13.4) and 95 percent of data will be within 2 standard deviation, and 99.7 within 3. this video helps explain it well. kzbin.info/www/bejne/jYfbZICPmZKEb9k

[@amardeepkaur4943]

Hello sir Can we copy data from ms excel?

[@hudaahmed9496]

It makes sense but for my variables i am using gender, age groups and location so a little bit difficult for me to follow since i am not using the raw data of height and weight. any suggestions??

[@ResearchByDesign]

For height and weight (scale level variables) try the Analyze -> Descriptive Statistics -> Descriptives command and make sure that you get mean and SD. You can select other descriptives and also plots with that command. For categorical variable (gender, age groups, etc.) the Frequencies will give you lots of options. Good luck.

[@faizan5456]

Thank you, professor.

[@TheKubbas]

"But WEIGHT, there's more" ;) Such a pun at the right moment, intentional or not!

[@ResearchByDesign]

Using humor in the videos is sometimes hard because people are focusing on learning and sometimes the humor is distracting, but, yes, I try to work in little comments or plays on words whenever I can. I'm pretty sure that one was unintentional, though. Thanks for commenting!

[@muhammadidress5315]

Hi sir I hope you are fine as I enter random data on 50 items and the answer of reliability I got in negative now I can't check each items to get positive reliability how I can get it in positive and also can you tell me the accepted range of reliability

[@ResearchByDesign]

If the data are random, then you will not have high reliability. A negative reliability means that your scale is not working and you need to start over or fix it because the items are not measuring the same construct. There is no way to make a negative reliability positive except to have a reliable scale. You are looking for a minimum Cronbach's alpha of .70, but higher is better. Good luck!
