Descriptive Statistics for Categorical Data - Statistics with SPSS 27 for Beginners (4 of 8)

[@MeganLeeKY]

you are a life saver! I have been searching online for how to deal with categorical data and there are so little on them! life saver thank you!

[@savvastopalidis9957]

I just began watching your videos to learn the basics about SPSS, videos you made some years ago and I gotta say.. that beard looks great on you. Keep it up sir!! Thank you for everything

[@ResearchByDesign]

Wow, thanks! You'll see more of the beard in the upcoming #1 video introducing the series. Glad that you enjoyed the video, the newest one dropped today.

22:10 FavouriteToy3 doesn't appear in the list of variables on the left. I keep trying to redo the recoding exactly as you are doing it but it never makes a new variable :( Edit: This was because the new variables created weren't ticked under my active variable sets, which is why I couldn't see them

[@tanqisheng2107]

same as mine

[@lethabomoshoana6331]

These videos saved my life 😂❤️many thanks.

[@ccz479]

Very, very useful to know all of these!

[@rebecaanastacia3020]

Hi professor. I really like the way you teach us. I feel as a primary student 😄 that is awesome. We feel more confident.

[@ResearchByDesign]

Happy to hear that! And thank you so much for your kind comments. Wish you the very best in your stats learning!

[@sarahwitney6751]

Love videos! Thank you so much.

[@ilhemdjenane9447]

thank you so much, this is very helpful step by step, keep up the good work

[@miscelleneoustubes]

Best tutorial ever! Great thanks

[@geanswiatko101]

I so wish you lived next door! I would provide bribery for the puppies with homemade biscuits so you could help me. I am still so very lost. I have watched them a number of times. Hopefully, it will stick sooner rather than later! LOL thank you for all you do!

Amaaaaaaazinggg!!! Thank you so much

[@sarahwitney6751]

Hello, I would like to make a chart that shows the mean scores on 4 tests of well-being, disaggregated by an independent variable, we'll say, those who have and haven't experienced trauma. So, on the y axis, it would say mean score on each test, and on the x axis, each clustered bar would be labeled separately, and there would be a clustered bar for each individual test of well being. Hopefully that makes sense. If not, let me know and I can share a picture. But would you know how to make that in SPSS? Or does one of your videos mention it? Thanks so much, and thanks for this series!

Hi Dr, sorry to bother you I just have a question as I am having an issue recoding variables. I have followed all the instructions but unfortunately when I go to crosstabs again to put in Favourite toy 3 it doesn't appear, despite having recoded the variable. I am running SPSS version 28 and have a feeling this may have something to do with it.

[@SammiT26]

Experiencing the same issue here. I do not have Favourite toy of 3 options as one of the recorded variables. My version is also 28.

[@TheenTakle]

The reason for that is, in the previous module you made a custom variable set and thus can only view the variables added to that set. Go to 'use variable sets' option and select 'all variables' to view all the variables.

Respected Sir, Very Helpful Videos, Thanks. "GOD BLESS YOU" Ameen

[@maxrkmrose]

Great content and thank you very much for presenting this - your work definitely kick starts one into SPSS usage. In the win 10 version 27.0.1.0, the newly created variable "Favorite toy of 3 options", did not appear in the crosstabs variable list when I recalled the Crosstabs function, so I had to turn off the variable set and show all variables to find it.

[@ResearchByDesign]

Thanks for sharing! I made some adjustments to the new dataset and I will upload it to the drive. Hopefully, that will fix it.

[@faizanshahzad8598]

this comment helped me loads!!

[@emilyzhang8129]

Thank you for this comment! It wasn't showing up for me either in Crosstabs, so I added "FavoriteToy3" to the "Dog Toy Analysis" variable set.

Hi Sir, Recoding into different Variables is not working on my Latest IBSS Software

[@nanceygouse5836]

Thank you for presenting this area so clearly. May I ask if an ordinal categorical variable with several items (with maximum values of 5 to 8) can be summarized into one score(or equivalent)?

[@ResearchByDesign]

Good question...if you have multiple related ordinal variables in a Likert scale (5 - 8 options, strongly agree to strongly disagree), the you can combine them (use the mean) into a single score or scale. They must be conceptually related and have at least 5 answer options. Good luck

[@waqaskaleem5796]

Hello sir. I'm watching your video its very formative learning. But I have problem with data sheet.e.g If we add value 1 for male or 2 for female so when we check on data sheet to wrote 1 for male options does not show it .hope to understand my point. I'm you suggestion

[@ResearchByDesign]

You coded males as 1 and females as 2, then you entered 1 & 2 in data view. For them to show as "male" and "female" go to Variable View, make sure that the gender variable is numeric type, then click on Labels (value labels) and add 1 = male, 2 = female, ADD. That tells SPSS how your variables are coded. Good luck!

[@thomaslekaasula8868]

Hello sir, thanks for such informative videos, however when i try to change the categories of data in crosstab, it does not reflect so my data does not change, any help on this will be greatly appreciated. Thanks sir

[@yukili8081]

I love the dogs! They are adding so much fun in learning haha xdxd

[@turalmusayev4664]

Hello, sir. First of all, thank you for this incredible opportunity that you've created for us to learn SPSS. I faced with one problem while going alongside with you throughout this lesson. When I try "recode into different variables" action, that newly created "FavoriteToy3" variable does not appear in my crosstab box. What can be the problem for that? (Btw, I am using version 28)

[@ResearchByDesign]

I illustrated how to create the FavoriteToy3 variable. It may be that you have a dataset from the step before that. There should be another dataset with that variable. Alternatively, you can create it yourself. Regardless, the steps for the cross tab will remain the same and you can use them with your own data. Good luck!

[@shahzaib7047]

Sir i need spss software plz shear it by google drive link where i can download it

[@ResearchByDesign]

Here is a video about downloading SPSS: kzbin.info/www/bejne/rmncY6Gnhb-dns0. Or perhaps consider JASP: kzbin.info/www/bejne/mIe1ZH-oosuBj6M

[@cl_pharma]

Thanks so much..

[@shakeelgill1604]

Respected Sir, Kindly remove the confusion, ( Is Likert Scale Data Ordinal or Interval? ) Thanks
